Every child deserves the best start in life. At the NIHR Manchester Biomedical Research Centre (BRC), we are dedicated to advancing research that transforms the health and well-being of children across Greater Manchester, Lancashire, South Cumbria and beyond.
From understanding rare conditions to tackling childhood mental health, from improving respiratory care to pioneering breakthroughs in juvenile arthritis and hearing health – we are committed to making a difference. Our expertise spans across these crucial areas, ensuring that children receive the best possible care, now and in the future.
We believe that collaboration is at the heart of progress. By working with clinicians, researchers, families, and the wider community, we are building a stronger research portfolio – one that shapes the future of children’s health.
Our tagline, Grow Together, Shine Forever, reflects our vision: research that nurtures young lives today and creates lasting impact for generations to come.
We are always looking to collaborate and expand our portfolio – with researchers, healthcare professionals, industry partners, and families. Together, we can expand our understanding, develop better treatments, and ensure that every child has the opportunity to thrive.
