We are making impact across a range of diseases and the molecular mechanisms which underpin them. With this, we are developing new diagnostics and new therapeutics.
Welcome to The University of Nottingham’s Diagnostics and Therapeutics Research. Based within the School of Veterinary Medicine and Science, we are focused on the discovery and development of novel diagnostics and therapeutics for life-changing and life-threatening diseases in animals and humans.This involves a unique combination of evidence-based medicine and cutting-edge tools, including next-generation pathology and pharmacology, bioinformatics and novel in vitro and in vivo models. Together, they enable us to develop advanced diagnostics for early disease detection and inform treatment decisions in modern medical practice.Our groups are helping to fight cancer, kidney disorders, neurodegeneration, cardiovascular conditions, and infertility.

Our cancer research ranges from developing improved animal-free models of cancer to understanding inequalities in cancer diagnosis and care. We employ cutting-edge techniques in next-generation pathology and pharmacology to study cancer biology, enabling us to create better diagnostic tools and more effective therapeutic strategies.
Whether they occur acutely or chronically, kidney conditions can be hugely debilitating. Together we’re conducting research into therapeutic preventative solutions.
With a growing aged population, neurodegenerative disease is becoming increasingly common. Our research is identifying much needed new diagnostics and therapeutics to tackle it.
Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of death. Our work aims to understand how and why it occurs across species, as well as how we can better diagnose and prevent it..
Reproductive disease can affect the ability of both people and animals to give rise to future generations. At Nottingham, our research is improving diagnosis and treatment across species.
