Developing novel analytical and computational tools to improve public health in the United Kingdom

The NIHR HPRU in Health Analytics & Modelling is one of 13 HPRUs across England, part of an £80 million investment by the NIHR to protect the health of the nation. Our HPRU is a partnership between UKHSA and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, in collaboration with Imperial College London.

Health Protection Research Units (HPRUs) are funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) and undertake high quality research that enhances the ability of the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) to protect the public’s health and minimise the health impact of emergencies. HPRUs focus on collaboration and knowledge sharing, and play a pivotal role in maintaining and growing UKHSA’s scientific expertise and future workforce. The multidisciplinary centres of excellence also deliver responsive research to tackle emerging or potential public health emergencies.
