Humans of Health Research

To celebrate the extraordinary work of our clinical researchers, the Imperial College Academic Health Science Centre has launched an online photography exhibition to spotlight some of Imperial’s clinical researchers and their innovative work. These people include research midwives, physiotherapists, pharmacists, nurses, patients and healthcare scientists. It also features the patients who have benefited, and whose experiences and input have influenced and inspired the research.

Covering a broad range of medical specialities, each portrait highlights what motivates these hardworking staff as well as demonstrating why their research is vital.
