Summary

The Healthcare Science and Applied Diagnostics Research Group undertake research in the following fields: immunology, pathology, haematology, biochemistry, regenerative medicine, microbiology, genomic, and diagnostics.

Our Healthcare Science and Applied Diagnostics Research Group brings together our “Connected Pathology” network to establish the evidence-base for the adoption of innovative and emerging diagnostics, to develop the notion of diagnostic stewardship through investigation of requesting patterns, interpretation, and diagnostic error, and to support sustainable and resilient laboratory leadership as they face the challenges of increased service-demand.

Healthcare Scientists input into an estimated 80% of clinical diagnoses and, in turn, contribute to the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of disease across all clinical specialities and spanning all healthcare systems. This unique positioning has the potential to develop impact, both to individual patients and to wider diagnostic pathways and health economies.
