The Institute of Biomedical and Clinical Science encourages cell biologists, immunologists, nutritionists and epidemiologists to generate multidisciplinary research programs to study infectious diseases and the role played by diet in optimising health and healthy ageing. Research benefits from strong collaborative links with Schools of Biological Science, Pharmacy and Chemistry at UEA, and fosters links with consultants from the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital. Work ranges from fundamental mechanistic research in the Biomedical Research Centre at UEA and the Institute of Food Research, to intervention and community-based studies carried out in the Clinical Trials Research Unit. The Institute aims to combine scientific excellence with impact by generating knowledge which contributes to the development of novel approaches to therapy and diagnosis, and to reducing the incidence of disease.
In the 2008 RAE, research undertaken by members of the Biomedical and Clinical Sciences Research Institute was submitted across 2 UoAs with 48% of this research judged to be world leading and internationally excellent and 88% in total recognised internationally.
