Our Research Institute strives to better understand what causes the problems that can occur post-transplant, including Graft versus Host Disease (GvHD), relapse and infections caused by viruses, as well as develop new therapies to treat and prevent them. It is home to our HLA Informatics and Immunotherapy research groups.

In 2020, ANRI was awarded Independent Research Organisation status by UK Research and Innovation. This means the institute can now apply directly to UK Research Councils for funding to increase our scientific research capacity even further.
