Research themes
The NIHR BRC: Moorfields is one of the world’s leading eye research centres. Our research benefits from the large, diverse patient population served by Moorfields Eye Hospital, as well as the academic excellence of UCL, London’s global university. From this renowned partnership, we drive innovation in eye care in the clinic by building on decades of experimental science in the lab.
Our themes
Our research is divided into five themes that bridge biological sciences, health data and translational science.
At their core is a deep understanding of the mechanisms and features of eye disease, and knowledge of how individuals from diverse populations respond to treatment. The themes are closely interlinked and share a set of common aims, which are detailed on our About us page.
