Translational research

The MRC fellowship combines clinical research training with a programme addressing human health, from mechanisms of disease to translational research. It supports researchers developing a clinical academic career with supervision in an eligible host department. Research can cover infection, immunity, molecular medicine, population health, neuroscience, mental health and related MRC areas. Fellows should normally start between October 2027 and January 2028. The application deadline is 13 January 2027 at 16:00 UK time.

Caroline Williams-Gray is a Principal Research Associate in the Department of Clinical Neurosciences, University of Cambridge, and an honorary consultant neurologist specializing in Parkinson’s disease and movement disorders. She leads a translational research group investigating the clinical and biological heterogeneity of PD, with the ultimate goal of developing more targeted therapies for different Parkinson’s subtypes. Her recent work has focused on the theory that the immune system plays a significant role in mediating the heterogeneity of PD and its progression. Her lab is investigating
