The Centre of Excellence for Infectious Diseases Research (CEIDR) is a partnership between the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM) and University of Liverpool (UoL) focused on translational partnering in infectious diseases. CEIDR is developing partnerships with industry, applying the technologies, expertise and resources of LSTM and the UoL in the rapid translation of infectious diseases research, with a primary focus to combat the threats of resistance to public health word-wide...

The Centre for Advanced Electron Spin Resonance (CAESR) provides a world-class facility for use by scientists across the physical and life sciences. In addition to providing experimental infrastructure, CAESR aims to encourage a multidisciplinary approach to the development of electron spin resonance that is driven by the symbiosis between methodology design and technique application. Research performed in CAESR is internationally leading, as evidenced by the excellent publication record. The...

The UK is world-renowned for its unique portfolio of national birth cohort studies. The Centre for Longitudinal Studies (CLS) is home to four multidisciplinary, nationally representative longitudinal cohort studies, which form a vital part of the UK’s data infrastructure. These studies are: Millennium Cohort Study (MCS, b.2000/1), Next Steps (b.1989/90), 1970 British Cohort Study (BCS70), National Child Development Study, (b.1958, NCDS). The Centre is responsible for the scientific direction...

The Millennium Cohort Study (MCS) is following 19,517 children born across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland in 2000-01. This unique resource fills a major and unprecedented 30-year gap in longitudinal data on the UK population (previous national birth cohort studies were 12 years apart: 1946, 1958 and 1970). The cohort has been surveyed six times (9 months, 3, 5, 7, 11 and 14). The seventh survey is taking place in 2018 at age 17. At the time of its instigation, the key objectives...

The National Child Development Study follows the lives of an initial 17,415 people born in Great Britain in a single week in March 1958. At birth 98% of all babies born in the target week were enrolled. The study was further augmented in childhood with immigrants into GB. The study is the second oldest of the UK’s national birth cohort studies, which follow people from birth and across the whole of their lives. It forms one of four national longitudinal studies at the Centre for Longitudinal...

Next Steps is a nationally representative longitudinal cohort study following the lives of around 16,000 people in England born in 1989-1990. The cohort members were sampled through schools. It includes a major ethnic boost sample. It is a multi-disciplinary social science study which has collected information on education and employment, economic circumstances, family life, physical and emotional health and well-being, social participation and attitudes. The cohort members were surveyed at ages...

The 1970 British Cohort Study (BCS70) follows the lives of more than 17,000 people born in England, Scotland and Wales in a single week of 1970. Over the course of cohort members lives, the BCS70 has collected information on health, physical, educational and social development, and economic circumstances among other factors. BCS70 is fully documented http://www.cls.ioe.ac.uk/BCS70. The full sample was surveyed at ages: 0, 5, 10, 16, 26, 30, 34, 38, 42 and 46. BCS70 is part of the world-renowned...

The CMSB is implementing engineering principles towards the application of synthetic biology of mammalian systems. While significant strides have been made in prokaryotes and yeast, applications in more complex mammalian systems are still in their gestation. The Centre builds on seven years’ productive multidisciplinary research across synthetic and systems biology, and will extend this to embrace Edinburgh’s world-leading expertise in cell biology, specifically epigenetics and stem cell biology...

The Centre for Preclinical Imaging aims to develop cutting-edge non-invasive imaging methods for assessing pathologies and response to treatment in the live animal. It aims to provide the expertise and infrastructure for non-invasive imaging in pre-clinical models to the research community at the University of Liverpool and its academic and industrial partners in the vicinity. The centre has been funded in large part by capital award funds from the MRC (£3.3M) and the UKRMP to establish the...
