Engaging populations to improve health

A multi-disciplinary approach to studying the health of populations, spanning molecules to communities

Bristol Population Health Science Institute builds on Bristol's internationally-leading reputation for research in the determinants and consequences of ill-health.

Our research ranges from basic discovery science in molecular and genetic epidemiology to innovative clinical trials and policy-influencing and assessment activities. Our multi-disciplinary community spans across several schools and faculties within the University and tackles a wide range of questions about health and health care.
