NIHR Sheffield Biomedical Research Centre (BRC)
The NIHR Sheffield Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) is a research partnership between the University of Sheffield and Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The NIHR Sheffield BRC is focused on translational neuroscience for chronic neurological disorders and is funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research.
The NIHR Sheffield BRC is dedicated to improving the treatment and care of people living with chronic neurological disorders; as the population ages, more people than ever before will be affected by a neurological disease of some kind, but few effective treatments currently exist.
In order to find new treatments, we first need to answer the following questions:
• Why do certain diseases develop in some people but not in others?
• Why do people with the same disease often progress (experience worsening symptoms) at different rates from each other?
• Why do some treatments work in some people but not in others?
