What we do
We teach and carry out research to improve children's health and wellbeing and to
prevent, diagnose and treat conditions that might affect them in
childhood or in later life.
We develop and apply statistical methods to complex research data and train researchers to use these methods.
We work with researchers from other disciplines and those who use our work to ensure that our research gives children the best possible start in life.

How our research is having an impact
HIV
HIV research conducted by Dr Pat Tookey and Dr Claire Thorne into mother-to-child transmission has been used to inform practice not only in the UK, but also abroad. This includes the recommendations made by The British HIV Association Guidelines for the management of HIV infection in pregnant women (2008) and the WHO guidance on Antiretroviral drugs for treating pregnant women and preventing HIV infection in infants (2010).
Research spotlight
This centre is coordinating the UK’s latest large birth cohort study which
will collect information on more than 100,000 children across the UK.
This birth cohort study will provide information that can be used by
researchers to improve the health and wellbeing of children, both now
and in the future.
