UCL Health

UCL is a leader in medical and health research, education and innovation. We are committed to addressing some of the world’s most pressing problems and enhancing the lives of people in the capital, the UK and around the world.

Pioneering eye therapy

Two people, whose sight had deteriorated due to age-related macular degeneration, were able to see the world again, following ground-breaking stem cell-based therapy pioneered at UCL.

Improving newborn care globally

Around 2.5 million children die annually in their first month of life. To address this, UCL co-created Neotree – an app for all healthcare workers, producing a suggested diagnosis and management plan according to national neonatal guidelines.

Silencing the Huntington's disease gene

The Huntington’s Disease Centre at the UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology, is playing a leading role in the global push to find a cure for Huntington’s disease.

Shaping sexual health policy

One of the world’s largest, most detailed studies of sexual behaviour has been informing health policy and modernising public dialogues around sex for over 30 years.
