Liverpool’s global leadership in health and life sciences is driving innovation in specialist areas such as: Infection; Precision Medicine; Children’s Health; Veterinary Science; Independent Living; and Big Data, Sensors and Internet of Things.

At the heart of our life sciences cluster is the Liverpool Knowledge Quarter, which is home to the University of Liverpool, Liverpool John Moores University, Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine and the Royal Liverpool University Hospital. It is fast becoming one of the world’s leading innovation districts and upon completion of its new hospitals, will be one of the largest academic and clinical campuses in the UK.
