About Us
Led by Professor Anthony Costello, the UCL Centre for International Health & Development (CIHD) is an interdisciplinary collaboration of leading academics and researchers based at UCL and the UCL Institute of Child Health working on health and development in a global context.
Mission
Our
research aims to develop the scientific basis for improvement in
clinical practice and public health using robust epidemiological,
laboratory and social science methodologies.
We are committed to
capacity-building with partner organisations in developing countries to
disseminate our work as widely as possible.
History
In October 2006 the UCL Centre for International Child Health, the UCL International Perinatal Care Unit and the UCL International Health & Medical Education Centre united to become the UCL CIHD. We continue the innovative work begun by Professor David Morley in the Tropical Child Health Unit in the 1970s and 80s and Professor Andrew Tomkins thereafter.
