About us

We are a centre dedicated to advancing clinical research in therapeutics and experimental medicine at the University of Liverpool. We are based within the Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics and work in collaboration with the NIHR Liverpool Clinical Research Facility.

Our mission

Our mission is to improve health and wellbeing by optimising the use of existing drugs and accelerating the development of new treatments. Through clinical trials and experimental medicine, we aim to deliver a significant health impact in therapeutics.  

We are committed to optimising drug use, providing tools for safe prescribing, and managing drug interactions, particularly for patients with multiple medical conditions. We focus on generating evidence for the best dosing practices in special populations where current guidance is lacking, and on accelerating the evaluation of new treatments through early-phase clinical trials, including first-into-human studies.

Our vision

Our vision is to create a leading facility for clinical trials that drives innovation, shapes global health policy, and promotes excellence in prescribing and medication management through research, education, and training.

Our values

We are globally focused addressing healthcare inequalities by researching therapies for neglected diseases, focusing on underserved populations, and ensuring affordable access to medicines.

Our commitment extends to advocating for inclusive representation in clinical trials and maintaining high standards of integrity and transparency in our research. By prioritising these values, we aim to make a significant impact on global health and improve outcomes for all, particularly the most vulnerable.
