Cambridge Public Health brings together interdisciplinary research communities to tackle urgent and emerging public health challenges. These priority areas connect researchers, public health professionals, and community partners to explore shared interests and deliver real-world impact, such as joint funding proposals or policy engagements.
We support each area through facilitation, coordination, and communications to help collaborations grow and succeed.
While these areas help guide our focus, we continue to welcome and support engagement with the full breadth of public health research. Core themes – such as health inequalities, the life course, sustainability and planetary health, and the social and structural determinants of health – are embedded across our work.
