The Centre brings together researchers, clinicians and research professionals across our partner institutions, working alongside patients and the public, industry, charities, healthcare organisations and other partners to advance restorative immunology.
The Centre is led by an interdisciplinary team providing scientific, strategic and operational leadership across the seven-year programme.

Alongside the Research Streams, Centre-wide groups bring together expertise from across our community to support training and development, research culture, patient and public involvement and engagement, data governance, clinical studies, and knowledge exchange and commercial engagement.
Supporting doctoral training, skills development, mentoring and career development across the Centre.
Developing an inclusive, collaborative research environment in which people across disciplines, institutions and career stages can contribute and develop.
Embedding the perspectives of people affected by immune-mediated inflammatory disease across the Centre’s research and wider activities.
Supporting responsible, consistent and effective approaches to data access, management and sharing across the Centre.
Supporting coordination and oversight of experimental medicine, clinical intervention and observational studies across the Centre.
Building relationships with industry and other external partners to support knowledge exchange, collaboration and translation.
The Centre is led by the University of Birmingham and brings together researchers and clinical teams across eight partner institutions in the UK and internationally. Each contributes complementary expertise, infrastructure, patient cohorts and research capabilities to the Centre’s programme.
The Centre works with organisations beyond our university partners to bring additional expertise, capabilities and perspectives into restorative immunology.
We will work with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, charities, healthcare organisations, patient groups and other partners to support knowledge exchange, develop collaborations and help translate promising discoveries towards patient benefit.
Partnerships may bring access to therapeutic assets, technologies, data and specialist expertise, while the Centre provides a multidisciplinary research environment in which new ideas and approaches can be explored and developed.
