Moorfields Biomedical Research Centre
Our Biomedical Research Centre is dedicated to vision research. After two consecutive five-year terms from 2007, we successfully received a new NIHR award in 2017 for another five years to support and further develop our research strategy.
Pioneering research is fundamental if we are to offer meaningful benefits to patients. Research at our site is renowned for its initiation into new far-reaching therapeutic areas and its efforts to make significant improvements in preventing and treating eye conditions.
We continue to prioritise areas where there is unmet patient need and where we have an outstanding track record of translational achievement and expertise at an international level.
Our Clinical Research Facility also received a major five year funding award from the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), recognising the world-leading excellence of our clinical research. Find out more about our Clinical Research Facility.
In the fourth of our Q&As focusing on research at Moorfields and the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology, we talk to Professor Pete Coffey about the London Project's success in restoring sight in patients with severe wet age-related macular (AMD) and the potential it has opened up for the regenerative medicine.
