Nurse talking with mother and child

Since 2007, our NIHR BRC has led innovative research that improves healthcare.

Our BRC is a partnership between Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust and King’s College London.

Our work is delivered through nine research themes. Advanced therapies and personalised medicine, including medical technologies and artificial intelligence, run through all our research themes. Our state of the art research platforms support the delivery of our work.

Working together with the culturally and socio-economically diverse communities in South London, we deliver impactful research with local, national and global patient benefit.
