Research Day 2027

The School of Health & Medical Sciences (SHMS) Research Day will take place on Wednesday 27 January 2027 at the Clerkenwell campus.

About the event

Research Day provides an opportunity to celebrate and showcase the world-class research undertaken across SHMS over the past year, while bringing together researchers from both campuses to share ideas, build connections, and learn more about the work being delivered through our research centres, institutes, and groups.

This year’s event will also mark the launch of the SHMS Research Strategy, Transforming Lives: From Discovery to Delivery, setting out our shared vision for advancing research excellence and delivering real-world impact. The day will highlight the breadth and depth of research across SHMS and foster collaboration across disciplines and campuses.
