Research Focus

Molecular Engineering

Molecular Engineering represents a step change for the industrial design process - designing new materials from the molecular level - driven by both market needs and societal challenges.

Regenerative Medicine

Regenerative Medicine replaces or regenerates human cells, tissue or organs, to restore or establish normal function and offers great promise in the prevention and treatment of many serious diseases.

Impact of Demographic Change

The ageing population poses a major global economic, political and policy challenge. It is vital that we understand the nature of economic and demographic change in order to maximise the economic benefits and minimise the costs.

Parasitology

Parasitological research is a key strength of the N8 universities. This discipline is critically important, as recent estimates suggest that the majority of the world's human population is harbouring one or more species of parasite at any one time.

Asset Collaboration

The N8 expertise and experience of collaborative working, partnership and trust is being applied to develop new ways of working to maximise the use of new and existing research assets.
