Investigative Medicine Division
We aim to rapidly translate innovative science into patient benefit across a range of disease areas. From molecular biology and target discovery, through to interventional medicine and informing policy, we bring together researchers in a diverse range of specialties including acute stroke, dementia and immunology.
