Research infrastructure/facilities
Respiratory Medicine at University of Manchester covers respiratory broadly, being linked to the NW Lung Centre; one of the largest clinical centres in Europe with 50+ consultants and 12 professors. We work with biomarkers in blood, sputum and exhaled breath and have facilities for early phase clinical trials at the NIHR Manchester CRF, linking the Respiratory Theme of the NIHR Manchester BRC and its research in experimental medicine with the clinic. We have a Unit for antimicrobial resistance research, link with the Lydia Becker Institute on Inflammation and will shortly have access to a 3T MRI scanner for cardiorespiratory research.
Research funding/Resources
The centre has access to a number of clinical resources for research. We have a biobank with blood sputum and tissue samples available for research, access to state-of-the-art physiology as well as a new 3T MRI research scanner. We have several lab facilities and through the NIHR Manchester CRF funding for basic research costs. The NW Lung Centre Charity funds numerous projects in Respiratory Medicine, also linking with NIHR funding for our BRC, CRF and antimicrobial resistance centre.

Many of the centre’s PIs have close links to Industry, Pharmaceutical as well as Devices and we have previously had secondments with pharmaceutical companies. We also work closely with the Medicines Evaluation Unit, an SME specialized in early phase clinical trials. Through the Manchester BRC’s Business Engagement office there are additional opportunities.
