Our key areas of focus include ageing, stem cells, cancer, cell biology, genetics, drug development, medicine in society, and neuroscience. Newcastle's Faculty of Medical Sciences supports strong basic science that translates to clinical research for the benefit of patients by encouraging collaborative working on specific diseases between scientists and clinicians across disciplines and specialties.

We are indebted to our supporters who, through their enthusiastic charitable support, have helped us to take forward research and teaching that is now among the best in the world.
