Research Areas
WMS's strategic research themes are underpinned by multi-disciplinary, low-boundary and inter-related Research Networks and we collaborate extensively with the School of Life Sciences at the University of Warwick. WMS also has excellent links with other universities in the UK, Europe and North America. Our priority areas are: Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease; Reproduction and Health in the Community, including Primary Care, the Warwick Clinical Trials Unit
and a collaboration with Warwick Digital Laboratory
, using advanced digital tools to enhance medical diagnosis and care.
WMS works closely with the University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust
(UHCW). We have the same research themes as the Trust and joint working arrangements. Researchers from WMS and UHCW launched the Warwickshire Institute of Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism (WISDEM) on the UHCW site for joint studies.
The School has expanded rapidly, specific areas of strategic development include community sciences, such as mental health and child health, and clinical sciences such as reproduction, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and metabolism research. These research themes are consistent with the areas of strategic development identified by UHCW.
