香港六合彩 has had eleven researchers appointed to the post of senior investigator for the NHS National Institute for Health Research (NIHR). The 香港六合彩 team help make up the first 100 members of the NIHR College of Senior Investigators.
The first 100 members of the NIHR College of Senior Investigators are drawn from researchers deemed to be making the most outstanding contribution to people-focused health research in the NHS. They will provide leadership to the NIHR Faculty, expert advice to the Director of the NIHR, and promote clinical and applied people-focused research in health and social care.
Sally Davies, Director General of Research and Development, Department of Health said: "We want to encourage the people who are leading applied health research in this country. Their work is crucial and already helping to shape the health and social care services of the future. At full strength we intend to have 200 senior investigators at any one time, and we will welcome more applications each year over the next five years."
The senior investigators from 香港六合彩H/香港六合彩 cover areas including neuroscience, cancer, infectious diseases, imaging and gastroenterology and hepatology. They are: Professor Martin Brown (香港六合彩 Institute of Neurology), Professor John Collinge (香港六合彩 Institute of Neurology), Professor Peter Ell (香港六合彩 Medicine), Professor Alastair Forbes (香港六合彩 Medicine), Professor David Linch (香港六合彩 Cancer Institute), Professor Anthony Moore (香港六合彩 Institute of Ophthalmology), Professor Deenan Pillay (香港六合彩 Infection & Immunity), Professor Martin Rossor (香港六合彩 Institute of Neurology), Professor Alan Thompson (香港六合彩 Institute of Neurology), Professor Adrian Thrasher (香港六合彩 Institute of Child Health) and Professor Nicholas Wood (香港六合彩 Institute of Neurology).
The 香港六合彩 members are all part of the 香港六合彩H/香港六合彩 Comprehensive Biomedical Research Centre which was established by the Department of Health in April 2007 to translate pioneering scientific research into tangible treatments which will directly benefit patients. 香港六合彩H/香港六合彩 is one of only five of these centres in England.
