A history of success

From building the UK’s first Centre for Cancer Immunology (CCI), to leading medical trials and developing life-saving tests during the pandemic, we are proud of our history of innovation.

Southampton has a long-standing reputation for translating knowledge into real-world impact. As a global top-100, research-intensive university, Southampton combines world-leading expertise in health, engineering and data science with a strong culture of enterprise and collaboration. Our campus sits alongside one of the UK’s leading teaching hospitals, creating a unique environment where clinicians, researchers and industry partners work side-by-side.

We have shown what is possible when people come together with a shared purpose. The CCI stands as our proof of concept, a pioneering space where teams are brought together to focus their expertise on a single challenge.

The Institute for Medical Innovation builds on this approach and scales it up. Expanding our pioneering cancer research while bringing together data scientists, artificial intelligence experts, chemists, mathematicians and biologists to tackle other diseases where better treatments cannot come soon enough. By removing physical barriers and bringing people together under one roof, the opportunities for discovery are limitless.

Within the Institute for Medical Innovation, we will make new breakthroughs. But we can’t do it without your help.
