At Queen Mary University of London, we believe that a diversity of ideas helps us achieve the previously unthinkable.
The Wolfson Institute of Population Health was formed in August 2021, merging the former Wolfson Institute of Preventive Medicine (founded in 1991) and the Institute of Population Health Sciences (founded in 2019). The Institute is a part of Queen Mary’s medical faculty, Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry, and delivers internationally recognised research and teaching in population health.
The health of populations around the globe has steadily improved over the last century; however, health systems face growing challenges in delivering better health. Climate change, environmental degradation, poverty, inequality, ageing populations, urbanisation, political upheaval, migration on an unprecedented scale, and more recently, the COVID pandemic, combine to exacerbate existing and create new needs. The Institute is a world-class grouping of scientists and educators in applied health sciences, including public and global health, health services and primary care research, clinical trials, health policy and economics, health data science, behavioural and social sciences, epidemiology, biostatistics, translational and implementation science.
