UK Med-Bio supports multiple core studies, and dozens of other projects, led by world-renowned researchers - from Imperial College London and elsewhere, that extend across a wide range of domains, such as medical, chemical, metabolic, statistical and computational sciences, with the aim of making major advances in understanding the causes and reasons for progression of common human diseases.
In addition, UK Med-Bio funds and supports three Research Fellowships. Through the use of novel high-throughput ‘–omics’ methods and data from large-scale projects and consortia, the goals of UK Med-Bio's Research Fellows are to understand how gut-derived microbial metabolites are produced, how genetic variation affects metabolite abundance in the context of chronic inflammation, and how to quickly identify interesting molecular-phenotypic relationships for further investigation.
