Medical School
Ranked as one of the UK’s top medical schools, Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry is renowned for its world class research.
The medical school was the first to open in England and has always pioneered advances in medical education and science. This ethos is still at the heart of the school today which is nationally and internationally recognised for research in various subjects including cancer, cardiac, immunology and neuroscience.
Strong partnerships with the hospitals of Barts and The London NHS Trust allow the Medical School to focus on translational research (from lab to bedside). As a result, patients who are not responsive to standard medicine are being offered breakthrough treatments as a part of these revolutionary trials.
