Health Informatics (Research)

The Centre for Health Informatics research is centred on new tools, techniques, analytics, and software that accelerates the use of data and knowledge discovery in healthcare and biosciences.

Our focus is on how we can re-develop, reform, and revolutionise data infrastructure, intelligent analytics, and digital literacies to make new data-centric healthcare research possible. We are involved in the leadership of programmes such as HDR-UK Federated Analytics, DARE-UK and ELIXIR.
