Our central research interest is the prevention and treatment of acute harm due to trauma, major surgery, sepsis and other causes of critical illness.

Within our team we have a wide range of research expertise allowing us to tackle research questions through a variety of research methods from laboratory experiments to large clinical trials, epidemiological studies and qualitative research. Our research is carried out at our hospitals: the Royal London, St Bartholomew's, Newham, Whipps Cross and in the laboratory facilities at the William Harvey Research Institute.
