Associated research centres Scientists across the Sheffield Medical School work in collaboration with a broad range of interdisciplinary research institutes and centres. You are here Home The Medical School Research Associated research centres Associated research centres Neuroscience Institute The Neuroscience Institute at the University of Sheffield brings together leading experts in medicine, science and engineering to better understand the nervous system and tackle the biggest challenges in neuroscience. Neuroscience Institute Healthy Lifespan Institute At the Healthy Lifespan Institute we're uniting over 120 world-class researchers from a wide range of disciplines to tackle the global epidemic of multimorbidity – the presence of two or more chronic conditions – in a bid to help everyone live healthier, independent lives for longer and reduce the cost of care. Healthy Lifespan Institute Sheffield Institute for Translational Neuroscience SITraN is one of the world leading centres for research into Motor Neurone Disease, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Disease. From basic neuroscience research to novel therapies and clinical trials - our aim is to improve the lives of patients with neurodegenerative disorders and their families worldwide. SITraN The Mellanby Centre The Mellanby Centre for Bone Research aims to establish a focus for bone research, foster the development of inter-disciplinary research, develop collaborative research programmes and grant applications, and develop links with the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry. The Mellanby Centre Centre for Integrated Research into Musculoskeletal Ageing The MRC-Arthritis Research UK Centre for Integrated research into Musculoskeletal Ageing (CIMA) was formed in 2012 and has developed an integrated approach to studying the effects of ageing on the musculoskeletal system, which has been demonstrably successful. CIMA Experimental Cancer Medicine Centre: Sheffield The specific aims of the Sheffield ECMC are to make more new treatments available to patients in early clinical trials, help develop new active anticancer treatments, and develop biomarkers to predict who will benefit from treatment. ECMC Insigneo Institute for in silico Medicine The mission of Insigneo is to perform cutting edge research in areas of fundamental and applied biomedical modelling, imaging and informatics, so implementing the scientific ambition behind the Virtual Physiological Human (VPH), and transforming healthcare. https://insigneo.org The Bateson Centre The Bateson Centre is a world-leading centre using innovative models to understand human disease, focused around our expertise in zebrafish. The Bateson Centre Sheffield Institute for Nucleic Acids (SInFoNiA) SInFoNiA is a multidisciplinary research institute bringing together a wide group of scientists from medicine, science and engineering to investigate the role of nucleic acids in health and disease. SInFoNiA Imagine: Imaging Life We develop and apply cutting-edge imaging technologies to address important biological and biomedical problems. Based in state-of-the-art facilities, we bring together specialists in the biological application of super-resolution microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and cryo electron microscopy. Imagine Centre for Assistive Technology and Connected Healthcare (CATCH) We research, develop, evaluate and implement new technologies to enable people to live well and age well. Our aim is to make a significant and lasting contribution to the quality of life and independence of the growing number of people with disabilities and long-term health conditions. CATCH The Florey Institute The Florey Institute is addressing one of the world’s biggest biomedical challenges – infectious disease. Set within the context of emerging antibiotic resistance, we study the complex interaction between pathogens and their host. The Florey Institute Donald Heath Research Programme in Pulmonary Hypertension This programme comprises multidisciplinary research across the University of Sheffield and Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust with particular emphasis on patient orientated research. Current project include biomarker discovery, novel therapies and diagnostic imaging. Donald Heath Centre for Urgent and Emergency Care Research (CURE) CURE researchers undertake health service research into the organisation and delivery of urgent and emergency care, and work with the Clinical Trials Unit and Section of Health Economics and Decision Science to undertake health technology assessment relevant to urgent and emergency care. CURE Mental Health Research Unit In the Mental Health Research Unit, we are a multidisciplinary, multi-professional group of academic staff, Research Fellows, Research Associates and administrative staff. Currently MHRU includes both clinical and non-clinical academics, as well as honorary members of staff. Mental Health Research Unit
