UCL Centre for Clinical Research, Epidemiology, Modelling and Evaluation (CREME)

The Centre for Clinical Research, Epidemiology, Modelling and Evaluation applies multi-disciplinary research methods to generate an in-depth understanding of problems and their solutions in order to inform improvements in population health and guide policy.  For several years this has largely been based around studies of risk of HIV acquisition, studies of people living with HIV, and models of HIV transmission, progression and the effect of ART to inform policy in high, middle and low-income settings.  Recently, research has expanded into other infections and chronic conditions.  We work closely with national and international policy making bodies such as Public Health England and the World Health Organisation.  The Centre also organises the International Workshop on HIV and Hepatitis Observational Databases (IWHOD) annually.
