Brunel Health
Brunel University London has world-class expertise in working with health sector stakeholders, finding solutions to develop better health outcomes and innovations in Medical and Health Sciences, Biosciences, Life Sciences, Biomedical Technology and Digital Health.
Our expertise areas
Biomedical Technology
Our Biomedical Engineering research is interdisciplinary, using the skills and knowledge of academics from Engineering and Life Sciences. Research and development are being conducted in different areas including diagnostics, cardiovascular mechanics, organ-on-a-chip, prosthetics and diabetes. This has led to the development of smart devices for rapid screening, monitoring, diagnosis and therapy of diseases at the point of care and/or in laboratory settings.
Cancer and Cell Biology
Our cell and molecular biologists are striving to understand the mechanisms that keep our cells healthy, and how these can be disrupted; e.g. in cancer through the chromosomal aberrations that can arise as a consequence of exposure to radiation.
Digital Health
We have the expertise in digital health areas such as Bioinformatics, Computational Medicine, Medical and Health Data Analytics, Modelling and Simulations, Immersive Data Visualisation, Assurance, Security, Provenance of medical Data, Multi-Sensorial Technologies for Medical Applications and Data Driven Health Service Productivity.
Environmental Toxicology
Our research explores how harmful chemical mixtures in the environment can disrupt hormonal processes and should be considered as global health hazards. Working with regulatory bodies, we have developed a new approach to assessing the risks of these environmental pollutants.
Genetics and Genomics
Our researchers use sophisticated laboratory techniques and "big data" analytic methods to examine genetic influences on health and disease, and assess the safety of novel gene therapies.
Health Promotion, Policy and Economics
We have pioneered the development of methods to assess the cost-effectiveness of health interventions, and we carry out innovative research on health promotion and understanding behaviour change (e.g. in relation to smoking cessation and breastfeeding promotion programmes).
Human Well-Being, Development and Ageing
We carry out pioneering multi-disciplinary research on factors affecting well-being and health across the lifespan, including child development, mental health and issues affecting older people. Our research examines the importance of physical activity and sports participation, religious and spiritual beliefs, cultural factors, inequality, rehabilitation and educational interventions.
Inflammation and Immunity
To enhance human health, we are using multidisciplinary approaches to explore the inflammation and immunes processes involved in cardiovascular diseases –with a focus on identifying targets for drug development and diagnosis, leading to improved prevention and treatment.
