Mechanisms of disease and patient complexity: To understand and model mechanisms of disease and patient complexity in relation to personalised healthcare problems, and to elucidate the basis of population disease risks.
Education
To create and deliver top-quality education in innovative learning environments to inspire and unite the next generation of healthcare and health science leaders. Our department undertakes innovative research programmes tailored to developing world-leading academics. Such individuals will provide the healthcare solutions of the future.
Culture and Engagement
We are committed to supporting our staff and student community to achieve our aims in research and education, by actively developing our Athena SWAN profile through our Culture and Engagement Committee.
