Research and Development Department

The R&D Department at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust oversees all the biomedical research taking place on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus that involves hospital patients, their data or tissues, or uses Trust facilities and staff.

We're based at the heart of the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, one of the largest biomedical campuses in Europe, and we help to support world-leading experimental and translational medicine, including:

• testing new drugs / therapies and ways to deliver them

• testing new devices to improve diagnosis / recovery

• asking patients to complete qualitative questionnaires

• asking patients to take part in a series of tests, e.g. measuring their heart rate and recording the results

We work closely with our partners including the NIHR Cambridge Biomedical Research Centre and the University of Cambridge, and are happy to hear from potential researchers who would like to collaborate with us and use our facilities, whether you are from another NHS Trust, a university or pharmaceutical company.

We also provide advice and training for Trust / Cambridge University health research staff, guiding you through the research application process to ensure that what you do is safe, ethical and complies with all the necessary legislation governing research on people.

Take a look at our courses currently available, these are updated as and when new content is added.
