Involvement in Other Clinical Studies

The Clinical Hub team at Aberystwyth University works alongside researchers in the UK and around the world, bringing our expertise in metabolomics and proteomics to open up new avenues of clinical research.

The MetaCan Project

Funded by a Global Wales grant and FAPESP, the São Paulo Research Foundation, the MetaCan project links Clinical Hub researchers with collaborators in South America, particularly São Paulo State University (UNESP) in Brazil.

Together, we are applying metabolomic approaches to improve the diagnosis and treatment of cancer in South America.

The Aber Stroke Group

The Aber Stroke Group at Aberystwyth University studies how stroke affects mobility and designs interventions that support meaningful recovery. Its work is highly interdisciplinary, drawing on computer science, neuroscience, biology, human biomechanics, clinical exercise therapy and psychology.

The Clinical Hub is supporting the team to develop new ways of monitoring improvement during stroke rehabilitation.

The STRESS-L Study

STRESS-L (STudy into the REversal of Septic Shock with Landiolol) is a UK multicentre trial, funded by the NIHR and run by Warwick Clinical Trials Unit, that tested whether the beta blocker landiolol could improve outcomes for patients with septic shock.

Septic shock is a serious, potentially fatal response to severe infection. In some patients, inflammation persists even after the infection has cleared, which can lead to failure of vital organs such as the lungs, heart, brain and kidneys.

The Clinical Hub team is helping to describe the biochemical effects of septic shock and how beta blockers may modify them.
