Advancing equitable and sustainable population health

Discover who we are and how we work. Across five research programmes, in close collaboration with policymakers, practitioners, and communities.

Our programmes

Our research and education is organised in five programs

Understanding how social, environmental, and policy systems drive health inequalities — and where to intervene effectively.

Personalised decision-making and health technology evaluation to improve patient outcomes and future-proof healthcare.

Evidence-based evaluation of screening strategies through trials, microsimulation modelling, and national programme monitoring.

Critical reflection on the ethical, philosophical, and historical dimensions of healthcare, research, and biomedicine.

Studying how health professionals learn, reason, and are trained to drive evidence-informed educational innovation.

In addition to the five programmes, we have three methodological lines that cover all programmes, enabling optimal cross-fertilization of expertise.

Individual-based modelling, model calibration, causal inference, prediction modelling, and cost-effectiveness analysis.
