Manchester Academic Health Science Centre
The Manchester Academic Health Science Centre (MAHSC; ) is an academic health science centre based in Manchester, United Kingdom. It is a partnership between the University of Manchester and four NHS organisations in Greater Manchester. It was originally established in June 2008, with re-designation most recently in April 2020 by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) and NHS England/NHS Improvement. It is now one of eight academic health science centres in England designated for excellence in health research, education, and patient care. Health Innovation Manchester

In October 2017, the translational research power of MAHSC was combined with the adoption and diffusion machinery and expertise of the Greater Manchester Academic Health Science Network (GM-AHSN) to create an integrated academic health science and innovation system, Health Innovation Manchester. As part of Health Innovation Manchester (HInM), MAHSC brings together the world's leading academic and NHS partners in Greater Manchester to drive health research. MAHSC partners

with cross-cutting expertise in applied health (working closely with the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration Greater Manchester), digital health, and precision medicine. Crucially, research projects undertaken via MAHSC and Greater Manchester’s other research bodies are pulled through HInM’s innovation pipeline to provide a pathway of evidence-based innovations that can be deployed at pace and scale. History
