Research Community

These pages provide a 'who's who' of UK research centres and researchers conducting research with Serving and ex-Service personnel and their families, including detail of their specific areas of focus and expertise. The purpose of these pages is to connect researchers with shared interests and orientate service providers and policy makers to who is doing research in key areas of interest.

  • Centre for Blast Injury Studies

    London, United Kingdom

    The Centre for Blast Injury Studies at Imperial College was established in 2008 following Operation Herrick and aims to capture the hard-learned lessons that produced record levels of survivorship and learn lessons for future conflicts on how to further increase survivability. Their work aims to understand the long-term outcomes of survivors with previously un-survivable injuries and develop medical interventions for injured survivors as they age. The centre is interdisciplinary, bringing engineers, medics, and scientists together to address difficult issues, and translational- driving societal benefits and changes in acute medical care, equipment improvements such as PPE and vehicle design, testing of equipment through new surrogates for use in blast/trauma setting, and changes to relevant UK and NATO Standards
