Who we are
Cambridge Public Health is an interdisciplinary centre at the University of Cambridge. Based in the School of Technology, CPH is an umbrella organisation for more than 600 researchers and professionals working on public health issues. Together we strive to address public health challenges and improve health and wellbeing in our societies.
Established in 2020, CPH has evolved from, and brings together, elements of the earlier Cambridge Institute of Public Health (CIPH) and all of the PublicHealth @Cambridge Strategic Research Network. Through these earlier entities we have built long-standing relationships with key stakeholders, including the NHS and government departments, who continue to be actively involved as partners and through our advisory bodies. As we grow and evolve, we aim to further develop our partnerships worldwide to help tackle the pressing public health issues of our time.
CPH activities are supported by the University of Cambridge, charities, research councils and business.
What we do
We aim to make a major impact in addressing global challenges to population health and wellbeing through three channels:
- Research: Conducting world-leading interdisciplinary research that addresses current and future public health challenges.
- Capacity building: Supporting the next generation of public health researchers, practitioners and leaders through pipeline approaches to teaching and training programmes and education opportunities.
- Impact: Collaborating with public health professionals, policy, business and others to increase the real-world impacts of our research including leadership of region wide activities for academic public health and academic-service linkages that include other universities in the region.
