Bioscience - part of something bigger
Local roots Global ambition
When you start a bioscience-based degree with Salford, you are also joining a community making a difference in industry, our local region and in our wider society.
Many of our academics and technicians who support your studies are also delivering collaborative, interdisciplinary, high-impact work in a range of local and global healthcare and societal issues and challenges.
Read on and discover how you are part of something bigger.
Making an impact Biomedical Research Centre
Our Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) brings together interdisciplinary expertise to explore healthcare and societal challenges: from identifying cancer stem cell metabolism processes and molecular biomarkers through to understanding the impact of zoonotic and pathogenic microbes on human and animal health.
Working closely with regional hospitals, and with established wider national and international collaborations with universities and research centres, our Centre leads high-quality, high-impact research focusing on new and improved treatments for a diverse range of diseases.
The Centre focuses on three research clusters: Cancer Diagnosis and Prevention, Cardio-Respiratory Physiology and Infectious Diseases. Dementia and Healthy Mind is a growing field of our research.
Case study: Tackling AMR in Uganda
Universities are integral to advancing our understanding of the world around us. At Salford, we're proud to have a Biomedical Research Centre that is leading vital research that addresses diverse problems in sciences and health.
Our pioneering research in tackling antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Uganda is just one example of how we do this. Our work has led to sustained improvements in antimicrobial stewardship amongst health workers in Uganda, changing behaviour and reducing the number of deaths associated with maternal sepsis.
