Advancing Health Research
Our research will use health data in all its forms – including NHS patient data, genomics, biomedicine and wearable data – to understand predispositions to disease, develop targeted treatments and deliver new discoveries from real-world data to improve patient care.
Our national health data scientific programmes leverage the interdisciplinary skills, expertise and partnerships across our six distributed sites, breaking down geographic and disciplinary boundaries. Each will identify the big research questions that individual research organisations are unable to tackle alone.
