The National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Newcastle Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) brings together world-leading researchers and clinicians to turn early scientific breakthroughs into potential new treatments, diagnostics and health technologies for patients.

Newcastle’s BRC is the only one of the 20 BRCs across England that is dedicated to the study of ageing and multiple long-term conditions (MLTC).

Our experimental medicine and translational research turns innovative ideas and discoveries into practical benefits for patients, as well as contributing to the local and national economy.

Our work on diagnosis, treatment and prevention puts us at the forefront of the translational medicine revolution, leading to major advances in patient healthcare, regionally, nationally and globally.
