About The MEU

The MEU is a leading specialist clinical research facility working with the pharmaceutical industry to identify potential new treatments for conditions such as:

• Allergies
• Asthma
• Bronchiectasis
• Chronic Cough
• Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

• Hypertension
• Nasal Polyps
• Psoriasis/ Eczema/Dermatitis

For volunteers who wish to participate in research but do not want to take a drug, we do non-drug studies (academic team)

Whilst developing our activity in other therapeutic areas, we also conduct early phase clinical trials which require Healthy Volunteers.

The wellbeing of our volunteers is always our first priority. Due to this, we hold an outstanding reputation within the industry for performing high quality clinical research complying with strict clinical trial legislation. As a result, we have successfully conducted over 400 clinical trials, recruiting in excess of 40,000 volunteers and this number continues to grow.

Established in 1994, we are majority owned by the North West Lung Centre Charity. Due to the unique way that we operate, all profits generated by us are then reinvested into the research of future treatments for respiratory diseases.

We are located in our own purpose built, state of the art facility on the grounds of Wythenshawe Hospital and employ a team of dedicated medical professionals who are committed to excellence.
