Working with Industry

Developing commercial partnerships in health and medicine means that we can bring medical technologies out of the lab and into treatment centres. 

We’re using experimental medicine and translational research to strengthen our research, improve medical technologies and devices, evaluate and develop new biomarkers and find new drugs and develop new treatments which can benefit our South West communities. We’re actively engaging people in research like clinical trials to help make sure that our communities’ healthcare needs are understood, represented and met.

We use innovative ways of working such as Entrepreneurs-in-Residence, Innovation Scouts and Professors in Practice, inspiring and engaging colleagues to draw on their expertise and networks as we develop a team of clinical and biomedical researchers focused on benefits for patients through deepening relationships with industry.

We have access to a wide range of cutting-edge pharmaceutical trials and digital biomarkers and extensive industry links including Roche, DECODE, CYTOX, Biogen and Alkermes  Abbvie, Life Molecular Imaging and Eli Lilly as well as Novo Nordisk and Astra Zeneca. We are expanding our programme of clinical trials and are keen to collaborate with a range of health innovation partners and to hear from potential new partners to bring breakthroughs along the research pipeline towards implementation.
