The University
The University of Southampton is a leading research-intensive University, a member of the
Russell Group and one of the top 100 universities worldwide. We deliver an excellent
educational experience, world-leading research and we are known for successfully
commercialising that research through enterprise.
This is an exciting time to join the University of Southampton. We have an aspirational University
Strategy (see www.southampton.ac.uk/strategy), setting out our ambitions over the next five
years. The strategy involves achieving a top 10 place in the UK for research, which we will
achieve by investing in the highest quality staff and facilities. We are also transforming the
education offer available to undergraduate and postgraduate students across the University,
providing greater flexibility and modular courses, with a strong international focus.
The Faculty of Medicine
The creation of a new Faculty of Medicine has enabled us to build upon strong foundations of
basic research and clinical translation. Working with colleagues across the University and in the
local NHS we have strengthened our position as a renowned centre for translational research,
leading innovative learning and discovery for better health across the lifecourse.
Key to the success of the Faculty of Medicine is the delivery of high-quality education for
undergraduate and postgraduate students, building on our partnership in biomedical research
with University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust and fostering new collaborations
with the physical sciences, including chemistry, engineering and computing.

Medical Education
We offer a range of undergraduate programmes: the BM4 programme, a graduate-entry four-year
programme which accepts 40 students per year; and the BM5 and BMedSc programme which
accepts 200 students per year including approximately 30 students from a BM6 programme
aimed at widening access to a medical career. Science teaching in the first three years of the BM
programmes is delivered in the South Block of Southampton General Hospital as well as the Life
Sciences Building on Highfield Campus. Clinical teaching takes place at Southampton General
Hospital and the adjoining Princess Anne Hospital, the Royal South Hants Hospital, and in NHS
Trusts and General Practices throughout Hampshire, Dorset, West Sussex and Salisbury.
The BM5 programme has a number of distinctive features. These include the integrated nature
of teaching where the scientific disciplines are taught together in a clinical context using a
systems based approach and the BMedSc programme, an eight month supervised research
project undertaken in Year 4. There is also the opportunity, for selected students, to undertake
an integrated, intercalated Masters in Medical Science (MMedSc). The BM4 programme also has a
number of key features. These include clinical topics in the first two years where students meet
on a regular basis in Graduate Groups, and learning with BM5 students in the third and fourth
years on all clinical attachments.
All students take the same intermediate and final
examinations. All programmes have substantial clinical experience in the first two years,
student selected components, dispersed final year attachments, work shadowing prior to
commencing a Foundation post and inter-professional learning.
In addition to the undergraduate BM programmes the School provides two Masters Degree
programmes in Public Health Nutrition and Allergy.
The Child Health group within the Faculty of Medicine is charged with the responsibility of
providing undergraduate education within the curriculum as outlined and to fulfil a role within
the Child Health Care Group of University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust.
Research
The Faculty of Medicine has a clear research strategy to investigate the biomedical basis of
common human diseases and to translate this into clinical practice. The Faculty’s research is
delivered through four Academic Units:
 Cancer Sciences
 Human Development and Health
 Clinical and Experimental Sciences
 Primary Care and Population Sciences
All research is organised and managed by these Academic Units, each of which has clear
evidence of international excellence. Each carries a significant degree of devolved responsibility
for its research budgets and grants, space, equipment and personnel. Members of the Academic
Department of Child Health are included in Clinical and Experimental Sciences, Human
Development and Health and Cancer Sciences and there is close collaboration with those aspects
of Primary Care and Population Sciences that relate to children.
Working in close partnership with University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust,
translational research is delivered through the Southampton Centre for Biomedical Research
(SCBR), which brings together the Wellcome Trust Clinical Research Facility, the Clinical Trials
Unit, the NIHR Biomedical Research Centre in Nutrition, Diet and Lifestyle and the NIHR
Respiratory Biomedical Research Unit and Shadow Biomedical Research Units in Cardiovascular,
and Bone and Joint Disease, and the Cancer Research UK, Experimental Cancer Medicine Centre.
Southampton is the lead centre for the southern section of the South Central Children’s Research
Network (SoCCR), bringing together paediatric researchers across the Hampshire and Isle of
Wight and Thames Valley Comprehensive Research Networks. SoCCR is integrated into the NIHR
Medicines for Children Research Network and CLRN paediatric non-medicines network.

NIHR Biomedical Research Unit for Respiratory Medicine
Director, Ratko Djukanovic, Professor of Medicine
Within the Critical Care Theme of the Southampton Respiratory BRU (Mike Grocott, Howard Clark,
Tony Postle and Martin Feelisch) the focus of investigation is the optimisation of critical care
across the Life Course by defining clinically-relevant biochemical, nutritional, immunological and
microbiological parameters to allow a comprehensive phenotypic characterisation and disease
stratification in a heterogeneous population of critically ill patients, including the preterm infant.
Studies within this theme aim to evaluate the impact of whole body hypothermia and of
hypoxia/hyperoxia on progression to ALI/ARDS in critically ill neonates, children and adults.
Hypoxia and hyperoxia are known to increase both local (pulmonary) and systemic oxidative
stress in healthy subjects and critically ill patients, with important consequences for NO/ROS
production and lipid oxidation, but the consequences for pulmonary surfactant biology and lung
function in the preterm newborn are unknown. In this study we will combine our unique
expertise in characterising pulmonary surfactant and inflammatory cell biology, accurate mass
analysis of lipid oxidation products and metabolites of the NO/ROS signalling pathways, and
characterisation of hypoxia tolerance and susceptibility in studies designed to characterise
adaptation to extra-uterine oxygen levels using a panel of candidate plasma biomarkers
previously identified in hypoxia/hyperoxia adaptation in healthy adult volunteers. These studies
are led by Mike Grocott, Professor of Anaesthesia and Critical Care Medicine (EVEREST studies),
Martin Feelisch (Professor of Experimental Medicine & Integrative Biology), Tony Postle (Professor
of Developmental Biochemistry), and Howard Clark (Professor of Child Health)
The paediatric component of translational research in respiratory medicine within the BRU is led
by Howard Clark and Tony Postle (surfactant in neonatal lung disease and paediatric acute lung
injury) with John Pappachan, Michael Marsh, Peter Wilson and Kim Sykes (Paediatric Critical Care).
Paediatric respiratory research is carried out within the BRU in cystic fibrosis and infection (Gary
Connett, Julian Legg, Saul Faust) and in inflammation, asthma and allergy (Graham Roberts, Jane
Lucas).
The NIHR Biomedical Research Centre for Nutrition, Diet and Lifestyle
Director, Alan Jackson, Professor of Human Nutrition
The NIHR Biomedical Research Centre for Nutrition, Diet and Lifestyle builds on the strength and
experience of the Institute of Human Nutrition (Alan Jackson), the MRC Lifecourse Epidemiology
Unit (Cyrus Cooper), and the Institute of Developmental Sciences (Mark Hanson) who - in
partnership with clinical researchers in University Hospitals Southampton NHS Trust (UHS) and
public health physicians - prosecute a programme of research with the specific objective of
translating the products of earlier research for direct patient benefit in the short term, and
determining how best to modify current nutritional exposures in order to decrease the risk of
chronic non-communicable disease, such as cardiovascular and respiratory disease throughout
the life course. The lead investigator in neonatal nutrition is Alison Leaf and in Paediatric
gastroenterology, Mark Beattie
The Academic Department of Child Health has strong links with the Southampton Nutrition BRC.
Alison Leaf is a NIHR Consultant and Honorary Senior Lecturer in Neonatal Nutrition. There are
strong programmes in Paediatric gastroenterology (Mark Beattie), Paediatric respiratory disease
and innate immunity (Howard Clark, Jens Madsen, Tony Postle), Paediatric allergy and infection
(Graham Roberts, Saul Faust, Tony Williams, Jane Lucas) and Developmental influences on health
in later life (Keith Godfrey, Cyrus Cooper, Hazel Inskip, Mark Hanson). Infrastructure is in place
for translational medicine relating basic science research to clinical application within the
Southampton Centre for Biomedical Research (SCBR).
The University Department of Child Health has particular strengths in neonatal medicine
(including neurodevelopment), respiratory paediatrics, endocrinology, growth and nutrition,
paediatric neurosciences, paediatric infectious diseases and paediatric oncology and welcomes
applications from individuals with complementary research interests.
There is a strong
4
translational research base in neonatal medicine (Howard Clark) which focuses on applying our
internationally recognised expertise in lung surfactant biology to optimise treatment strategies
for premature infants with neonatal RDS (Howard Clark, Tony Postle) and a parallel programme
of research to optimise neonatal nutrition in preterm infants (Alison Leaf) and improve growth,
respiratory and neurodevelopmental outcomes (Brigitte Vollmer).
The basic science programme of the lung surfactant biology group (Howard Clark, Tony Postle)
focuses on studies of phospholipid turnover and metabolism by direct stable isotope in vivo
labelling, investigation of surfactant protein structure/function relationships, development of
recombinant surfactant proteins for the next generation of surfactant therapy and investigation
of the role of surfactant in innate immunity. These studies involve a range of state of the art
techniques in molecular biology, mass spectrometry, tissue culture, in vivo animal models
(transgenics) and ex vivo models of human disease to probe questions relating to respiratory,
nutritional and neurodevelopmental outcomes in sick infants and children.
Paediatric and Neonatal Neurology Research
Clinical Neurosciences research, within Clinical and Experimental Sciences, includes the following
research streams:
 Language development and the effect of early intervention in children with permanent
hearing impairment (Colin Kennedy)
 Quality of survival following childhood brain tumours (Colin Kennedy)
 Collaborative research with the neonatal service regarding predictive value of imaging in
babies that are premature or following birth asphyxia, neurodevelopmental outcome
following perinatal brain injury and neurological aspects of fetal medicine (Brigitte
Vollmer)
 The role of systemic inflammation in neurological disorders of childhood (Brigitte Vollmer
with Hugh Perry)
 Sleep medicine as applied to children (Cathy Hill)
 Randomised controlled trials of respiratory support and nutritional interventions to
prevent cognitive morbidity in sickle cell disease in East Africa as well as the UK (Fenella
Kirkham)
 Collaborative research with the Developmental Brain and Behaviour Link in the School of
Psychology (Colin Kennedy and Brigitte Vollmer with Edmund Sonuga-Barke, Jana
Kreppner, Christina Liossi)
Paediatric Respiratory Research
The department has an established portfolio of basic science, epidemiological and translational
paediatric respiratory research. The early life origins of asthma and atopy is a particular focus of
research (Graham Roberts, Jane Lucas, Judith Holloway), with collaborators in MRC Lifecourse
Epidemiology Unit, (LEU), David Hide Centre, Isle of Wight and Europrevall. Translational research
in respiratory medicine, primarily focussed within the BRU includes research into surfactant in
neonatal lung disease and paediatric critical care and acute lung injury (Howard Clark, Tony
Postle, Michael Marsh, Mike Grocott, Martin Feelisch), cystic fibrosis and infection (Gary Connett,
Julian Legg, Saul Faust) and in inflammation, asthma and allergy (Graham Roberts, Jane Lucas).
The primary ciliary dyskinesia research team (Jane Lucas) has a focus on nitric oxide in the
ciliated epithelium. There are strong links across the university NHS boundary and the NHS
respiratory and allergy consultants are all research active.
Clinical infectious diseases, microbiology & biofilms and immunology
Led by Saul Faust, Southampton is a member of the UK paediatric vaccine group and collaborates
in the design and delivery of national and international trials in paediatric and adult vaccines,
and in clinical trials in paediatric infectious diseases. Since 2006, microbiology and clinical
infection research has integrated across the University, Trust and on-site Health Protection
Agency South East Regional Laboratory, providing a unique environment for translational
infection research (Saul Faust, Stuart Clarke). The Biofilm and Microbial Communities research
5
group (Saul Faust, Stuart Clarke, J Webb, Luanne Hall-Stoodley, P Stoodley) applies cross-faculty
research linking basic science and clinical translational research in infection.
(http://www.soton.ac.uk/ifls/research/case%20studies/biofilms_and_microbial_communities_cas
e_study.html). Stuart Clarke (UoS/HPA) leads a programme of research in molecular
microbiology/epidemiology aimed at informing paediatric vaccine design and policy.
Translational immunology research (Tony Williams, Saul Faust) currently links paediatric and
adult immunology clinics to investigate novel defects in innate immunity in families or
individuals with undefined primary immunodeficiency and in bronchiectasis of unknown origin.
In addition to research within Academic Child Health, infection and immunology research occurs
across the Faculty of Medicine and wider University, including the bacterial and viral
pathogenesis of diseases (Ian Clark, John Heckels, Myron Christodoulides), development of the
human immune system (Phillip Calder), inflammation/infectious causes of neurological illness
(Brigitte Vollmer, Fenella Kirkham, Hugh Perry), Microbiological Protemics (David O’Connor, Paul
Skipp), Environmental microbiology (William Keevil).
