Athena Swan Gold Award

Department of Clinical and Experimental Medicine

This department is the home of clinical and experimental medical research at Surrey and the nucleus of the growing body of medical research at the University. It aims to provide a central connecting point for researchers, clinical academics and partnering NHS trusts. The research ranges from basic to translational science, including first use of molecules in humans (Phase I trials) all the way through to real-world evidence studies using routinely collected data and extending to clinical practice guidelines, and patient and public engagement.

Section of Clinical (Cardiovascular and Metabolic) Medicine

Cardiovascular and metabolic health are intimately linked and are essential for healthy ageing. The multidisciplinary research in the Section of Clinical (Cardiovascular and Metabolic) Medicine drives the development of early detection and innovative interventions to prevent disease and improve the care of patients.  

Section of Oncology

The Section of Oncology is home to the Surrey Cancer Research Institute (SCRI). One focus is viral engineering for cancer vaccine development, the role of the microbiome in cancer and to be at the forefront of testing and developing novel technologies to investigate the tumour immune microenvironment, fundamental to developing cancer immunotherapies in the future.

Section of Statistical Multi-Omics

The Section of Statistical Multi-Omics focuses on the dissection of the genetic architecture and multiple omics data layers for complex human and animal characteristics and their relations to symbiotic microbiota. The researchers develop novel statistical methods for multi-phenotype analysis, CNV detection, sequencing studies and multi-omics data.

Surrey Clinical Academic Network (SCAN)

The Surrey Clinical Academic Network (SCAN) is a recently founded initiative to bring together researchers, academics and clinicians from academia and healthcare in the region.

Surrey Health Economics Centre
