Research Topics

Cancer

Cancer remains a leading cause of death. Our research spans causes, prevention, treatment trials, screening, and long-term outcomes—shaping global guidelines and improving survival rates.

Diet, nutrition and obesity

We investigate how obesity, diet, and nutrition affect health and healthcare systems, and have investigated population-level interventions to promote healthier eating.

Infectious diseases

Infectious diseases, caused by bacteria, viruses, parasites, or fungi, remain a leading cause of death. New diseases like COVID-19 spread rapidly, posing serious global risks despite advances in treatment.

Death in old age is inevitable, but death before old age is not.

Sir Richard Doll CH OBE FRS (1912 - 2005)
