Institute of Epidemiology and Health Care
(Formerly known as the Division of Population Health)
Our work ranges across four research departments and associated MRC Units, spanning across the life-course from childhood to old age, focusing on:
- Understanding the determinants of health & disease in populations & in patients in clinical settings
- Evaluating strategies for the prevention & treatment of physical health
- Teaching and capacity building in population health
The Institute is part of the School of Life and Medical Sciences and the Faculty of Population Health Sciences
Following the links to the four Research Departments and associated MRC Units that form the Institute will allow you to see how:
- Our chronic disease Epidemiology focuses on the social and biological determinants of health, particularly in cardiovascular disease, and its Public Health implications
- We undertake research in Primary Care to improve health outcomes
- In the field of Infectious Disease in Populations we investigate the transmission and control of HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), ’flu and tuberculosis
- We have strong research and teaching profile in Information and quality management to support clinical practice. We participate in many national and international interdisciplinary collaborations, and a large portfolio of research linked to UCL’s Global Health Initiative.
Each department is located on one or more different sites across the UCL estate.
