Welcome

In December 2006 Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, along with its academic partner King's College London, was awarded one of five new National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Comprehensive Biomedical Research Centres in the UK.

The aim of the NIHR Biomedical Research Centre at Guy's and St Thomas' / KCL is to create a unique Centre that will enable our pipeline of excellent basic biomedical research to deliver real change in the management of our patients.

Our Biomedical Research Centre has a strong commitment to training and developing research capacity, as well as a clear strategy for extending user involvement in research.

A new Faculty of Translational Medicine has been established within the Centre to develop our R&D capacity through the training of scientists, clinicians and allied healthcare professionals.

The Centre is supported by a Clinical Research Facility (CRF), which has facilities reflecting the different functions and service and research needs of each site.
