Pioneering health research at our University is transforming healthcare.

There are several opportunities this month for staff and their families to take part in ground-breaking research studies that will improve treatments and care.

Fridge-free vaccine study

Future vaccines that can be stored at room temperature will help global health and the NHS.

Help develop a multi-cancer detection blood test

If you are aged 18+ and have no history of cancer, you could help develop a new blood test.

The MODERNISED study, led by the University’s Professor Andy Davies, aims to develop a blood test to detect 10 types of cancer at its early stages, by measuring the body’s immune response to cancer development.

100 healthy volunteers are needed as control samples. To find out more and take part, please contact Beth Wedge at modernisedHV@uhs.nhs.uk.

Are you healthy? Would you like to take part in research?
