The impacts of UCL Health research on the wider world have been recognised in the Research Excellence Framework 2021.
UCL came top for research power in the main panel of ‘medicine, health and life sciences’. Through our interdisciplinary work, UCL researchers have been collaborating with local and international partners on a range of issues addressing health challenges including COVID-19, HIV and cancer.
The REF is carried out approximately every six to seven years to assess the quality of research across 157 UK universities and to share how this research benefits society both in the UK and globally.
