UCL Centre for Population Research in Sexual Health and HIV
Delivering world-leading multidisciplinary research on sexual health, including, but not limited to, STIs and HIV, that brings population benefit and impacts policy and practice globally.
Strategic Priorities
We have five key priorities:
- Address key sexual health questions to inform policy and practice for the general population, specific communities, marginalised groups and service users.
- Deliver a programme of high-quality research that benefits from uniting bio-behavioural, social, epidemiological, health service and public health expertise and perspectives.
- Enhance existing collaborations and seek-out new partnerships within IGH, UCL, and the wider scientific community in order to strengthen the Centre's research portfolio.
- To provide undergraduate and postgraduate teaching in multidisciplinary research methods applicable to the study of sexual health, STIs and HIV.
- To develop future leaders in sexual health research through supporting the teaching and training of postgraduate students, fellows, and early career scientists.
