King's Health Partners' major research and innovation programmes include:

• mind and body

Through Royal Brompton and Harefield hospitals, we also work closely with Imperial College London.

Health innovation

We host south London’s Heath Innovation Network, one of 15 national Academic Health Science Networks. These networks connect NHS and academic organisations, local authorities, the third sector and industry, aiming to increase the spread and adoption of innovation across large populations. Through Royal Brompton and Harefield hospitals, we're also part of Imperial College Health Partners Academic Health Science Network.

Gene research

We lead the South London Genomic Medicine Centre. This is responsible for the delivery of the 100,000 Genomes Project across South London, Kent, Surrey and Sussex, as well as the transformation of genomic medicine services.
