Doctoral Training Programme
We’re supporting Queen Mary University of London to develop the next generation of biomedical researchers.
Research is essential to improve health in our community. It lays the groundwork for breakthroughs in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. We invest in high–quality, innovative research that enhances our understanding of health and illness and has the potential to improve and save lives in East London.
By supporting research from early-stage discovery to later stage implementation, we enable research-led health improvements that serve our community. We support research in multiple ways including:
- Advancing scientific discovery
- Building research enabling infrastructure
- Embedding research directly into clinical care
- Supporting researcher training
Our research funding advances understanding of the biological, environmental and social drivers of health, supporting new centres of excellence and attracting leading researchers to East London.
We’re strengthening the infrastructure needed for world-class research, including a state-of-the-art Clinical Research Facility that places East London at the forefront of clinical innovation. Embedding research into everyday care enables real-time learning and improved outcomes, as seen in initiatives like the Centre for Tuberculosis.
We also invest in research training to build academic leadership and capacity across disciplines and career stages, including the Barts Charity Doctoral Training Programme focused on local health challenges.
This approach enables:
- Life-changing discoveries that deepen understanding of health and illness
- Equity-focused research that reflects community needs
- Lasting improvements in the health of our local population
