Funding to help tackle COVID-19
This initiative provides a co-ordinated international platform to enable researchers to access global data and thereby derive rapid insights about COVID-19 and speed up the development of treatments.
We need the best, and the best-trained, health data scientists if we are to use large scale data and advanced analytics to deliver better healthcare. HDR UK and its partners provide training and education to bring new talent into the field and help the UK’s existing health data scientists develop their careers and research.
