Faculty and Research

The Department of Health Sciences believes a bold response is needed to address the complex health issues facing us today, and the emerging health issues that may impact us tomorrow. To answer this critical need, we have brought together faculty across fields of expertise, whose research uses an interdisciplinary approach to understand and develop solutions to complex health problems.

Our core research strengths exist in three main themes:

  1. Lifecourse Approach to Health
  2. Environment and Global Health
  3. Big Data

Our faculty also have extensive partnerships with local, national, and international individuals and organisations. Through these collaborations and our research activities, we can make a transformative change in our approach to improving the health and well-being of individuals and societies.
