The Faculty's strategic aim is to produce excellent research that is both interdisciplinary and translational, having practical applications for human and societal benefit.
研究 within the Faculty is organised around five main themes. The work within each of these themes
Translating our research into impact in the real world has always been a priority in the faculty. Our research has had important benefits to people in the wider community; regionally, nationally and internationally.
The Faculty has important partnerships with other parts of the University that carry out health-related research. We also enjoy close collaborations and strong links with NHS and social care partners, health-related industries and the voluntary sector.
Through the National Institute for Health 研究, we offer a free 研究 Design Service for NHS staff in the North West region to develop the statistical content of research applications. We work closely with colleagues in the NHS and other health agencies locally, nationally and internationally. We encourage proposals for collaborative work and our Lancaster Health Hub works strategically to increase collaborative research and knowledge exchange between Lancaster University, Industry, NHS partners and Social Care across Lancashire and Cumbria.
Statistical design and analysis contribute to, and inform, many areas of our health-related research.
Our interests include microbiology and parasitology, ranging from vector-borne diseases to environmental pathogens.
Our interests include bipolar disorder and related conditions, chronic neurological conditions that cause disability and ill-health and addictive behaviours.
Illuminating the social determinants of inequalities in health, and producing and exchanging evidence to reduce these inequalities.
Our 研究 Centres work to produce innovative research with practical applications for human and societal benefit.
Interdisciplinary research and promotes research-led teaching around ageing, older people and age-related disease.
Promoting and conducting high-quality, interdisciplinary research and research-led teaching on disability and disablism.
研究 into statistical and epidemiological methods in infectious disease modelling, design of field studies and statistical genetics.
Contributing to greater health equity for communities locally, nationally and internationally.
