Our research

Our research spans a number of biomedical and quantitative disciplines.

Wellcome Trust Institutional Strategic Support Fund for TREE has now come to an end and we would like to thank the Wellcome Trust for their support over the last 10 years. The  commitment from the Wellcome Trust and the University of Exeter provided foundations for the development of mechanisms of both discovery based research and translational research with wide reaching impacts at the interface between quantitative sciences and biological, biomedical & clinical sciences. 

The Translational Research Exchange @ Exeter (TREE) is an innovative programme designed to build research links between biomedical and clinical research.

The University of Exeter has received a £1.5million grant from Wellcome Trust’s Institutional Strategic Support Fund (ISSF) for the project, the third time it has successfully applied for funds through the leading scheme.

The funding covers five years (from 2016 to 2021), and its overall aim is to bridge the gaps between clinicians and biomedical research – its emphasis is on delivering 'impact' from both biomedical and clinical research. Find out more - link to an about us page.
