Preventative Health and Epidemiology

The primary objective of preventative health is to shift the focus of healthcare from treating diseases after they occur to preventing them from developing in the first place.

By leveraging data from clinical, genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors, our researchers can create risk prediction models to reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and certain types of cancer.

We are investigating the causes and risk factors associated with diseases to identify ways to prevent their spread and develop effective public health interventions. We play a crucial role in improving global health by informing policies and strategies to combat infectious diseases, chronic illnesses, and other health-related issues.

Risk prediction and preventative health strategies hold the potential to transform healthcare by emphasising prevention, empowering individuals to take control of their health, and reducing the overall burden of illness on society.
