What our students and staff say

Staff review

“UCL is highly central and a focus for other academics. Close collaboration across the three main universities with medical schools is excellent and London is a destination for many international visitors, which increases the sense of academic community in my discipline.”

PROFESSOR NEIL MARLOW

Professor of Neonatal MedicineStaff review

“UCL is an inspiring place to work. In particular the depth of experience and research activity across such a broad range of disciplines offers the opportunity for genuine world-class collaborations.My research is directed towards combating infection in acute decompensation liver disease patients (AD). I do contribute to PhDs and MScs programmes. My research group consists of a post-doctoral research fellow, 3 PhD students, a data manager, clinical research nurse and clinical trial team at the UCL Comprehensive Clinical Trials Unit. My work identified the first molecular mechanism (elevated Prostaglandin E2, (PGE2) to explain immune suppression in AD patients (Nature Medicine).This is the largest interventional study currently recruiting worldwide in patients with advanced liver disease at 30 hospitals (866 patients) throughout the UK. This will complete September 2018.”
