What we do
Our research aims to gain new insights by creating models of clinical scenarios in the laboratory and by setting up “field” laboratories in clinical settings. We use our expertise in applied physiology and neurophysiology research methods to tackle a diverse range of research questions that are linked by their relevance to anaesthesia, perioperative medicine, and those who deliver it.
Why it is important
Whole human physiology is a method of bridging the translational gap. Models and interventions that work at a cellular or sub-cellular level do not necessarily translate into solutions that work in the real world for patients. Whole human physiology can interrogate such models and interventions in healthy humans and patients and thus facilitate the development of real-world solutions.
How it can benefit patients
Our research has benefits, not only for patients, but also for healthy populations, such as healthcare workers. The range of benefits matches the diversity of research questions but can be summarised as increasing understanding of physiological and disease mechanisms, and the development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.
