Our research interests at a glance

Our interests are organised into a set of areas that reflect current activities and their development within clinical settings. Together, they provide a snapshot of ongoing activities. 

Medical education and pedagogical innovation 

Research in this area focuses on the design and evaluation of medical curricula, with particular emphasis on innovative teaching and mentorship methods, simulation-based learning, the integration of digital technologies and the development of patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE). Activities explore how to better align medical training with clinical practice, strengthen competency-based education, and support learners’ engagement and well-being. 

Oncology and translational hematology 

Research in this area focuses on hemato-oncology, with particular emphasis on lymphoid malignancies and the evolving landscape of immunotherapies including cellular therapies. Activities are grounded in clinical practice and span a broad spectrum of care, from the exploration of innovative therapeutic strategies, the modulation of immunotherapies through adjunctive strategies to supportive care and survivorship. This work contributes to the integration of emerging treatments into clinical care and supports the connection between medical practice and research to improve outcomes and quality of life for patients with hematological cancers. 

Critical care medicine  

Research focuses on intensive care and emergency medicine, particularly post–cardiac arrest care. Activities include collaborative participation in clinical studies with a focus on the investigation of molecular changes induced by cardiac arrest. The overarching goal is to improve patient outcomes following cardiovascular events, which currently remain poor. 

Infectious diseases and post-viral syndromes 

This area includes research on infectious diseases and their long-term consequences, with a current focus on Long COVID. Work aims to better understand disease mechanisms, patient trajectories, and recovery patterns, contributing to improved clinical management and follow-up care. 

Primary care and community-based research 

Emerging research activities focus on strengthening research in general practice and community-based settings. This includes the development of studies in primary care, with an emphasis on patient-centred approaches and strengthening the interface between community and hospital care.
