What is health sciences?

About the health sciences community in Greater Manchester

The health sciences research community in Manchester is one of the largest and most active in the UK, with over 500 researchers and external grant income of over £30m pa; approximately half of the grant income for the whole of the Faculty of Medical and Human Sciences (over £65m in 2009/10).

The Institute promotes networking, collaboration and communication in the health sciences research community across disciplinary, structural and organisational boundaries.

We work in collaboration with Manchester Academic Health Science Centre to support their aim of delivering higher quality healthcare and health to the people of Greater Manchester and beyond.
