Global health
Connecting people and ideas to improve global health and wellbeing
What we do
We are building a connected community of researchers across the University working on global public health challenges. This area brings together expertise from medicine, engineering, epidemiology, and social sciences to address issues ranging from trauma care and healthcare in conflict-affected settings.
We also focus on developing innovative tools, technologies, and approaches to improve access to healthcare in low- and middle-income countries.
