Newcastle’s BRC is the only one of the 20 BRCs across England that is dedicated to the study of ageing and multiple long-term conditions (MLTC).
Our experimental medicine and translational research turns innovative ideas and discoveries into practical benefits for patients, as well as contributing to the local and national economy.
And our work on diagnosis, treatment and prevention puts us at the forefront of the translational medicine revolution, leading to major advances in patient healthcare, regionally, nationally and globally.
We are a North East success story.
Newcastle’s is the only BRC outside the South East (London, Cambridge, and Oxford) to have been awarded NIHR BRC status in every funding round since 2007. That’s four consecutive funding awards from the NIHR and 15 years’ experience of world-leading translational research here in the North East of England.
The NIHR Newcastle BRC is a partnership that brings together some of the world’s best researchers and clinicians.
