Cellular medicine

The cellular medicine division combines basic and clinical research with the goal of understanding the cellular and molecular basis of disease. The division's interdisciplinary research uses cutting edge technology to address fundamental biomedical processes involved in health and disease.

Education

The Education Research Division aims to position 58吃瓜 as a recognised centre of excellence for education scholarship, innovation, and thought leadership in medicine and the health professions. Our strategy aligns with University priorities and national policy goals shared by NHS Education Scotland and the Scottish Government.

Infection and global health

The infection and global health research division works in a wide range of fields that includes clinical trials, genetics, anti-microbial resistance, diagnostic tools, education and global health policy.

The research requires cross-disciplinary teamwork in many countries with the common aim of improving health care in low resource settings. Consequently, the division has ongoing initiatives nationally and internationally with particularly strong links in East Africa and Indonesia.

Population and behavioural science

Population and Behavioural Science research in the School of Medicine is transforming health promotion, prevention, early detection, management of illness and communication locally, nationally and globally. We are a multidisciplinary team of researchers with expertise in health data science, epidemiology, trials and the design, delivery, and evaluation of theory-based psychological interventions.

Impact case studies

The HBSC, led by researchers from the School of Medicine, has been critical to understanding and reducing the risks to adolescent health.
