Oxford BRC

The Oxford comprehensive Biomedical Research Centre (OxBRC) is a partnership between the Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals NHS Trust and the University of Oxford. It has been made possible by a grant from the Department of Health's National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) under the programme 'Best Research for Best Health'.

The Oxford BRC undertakes 'translational research', which means taking laboratory research into a clinical setting. This kind of research is about first-time studies of medical innovations in patients, which are intended to improve healthcare delivery for the benefit of all patients.
