Cambridge Public Health

 

Cambridge Public Health brings together interdisciplinary research communities to tackle urgent and emerging public health challenges. These priority areas connect researchers, public health professionals, and community partners to explore shared interests and deliver real-world impact, such as joint funding proposals or policy engagements.

We support each area through facilitation, coordination, and communications to help collaborations grow and succeed.

While these areas help guide our focus, we continue to welcome and support engagement with the full breadth of public health research. Core themes – such as health inequalities, the life course, sustainability and planetary health, and the social and structural determinants of health – are embedded across our work.

About us

Cambridge Public Health is an Interdisciplinary Research Centre at the University of Cambridge. We connect people, ideas, and opportunities to strengthen public health research and its impact – locally, nationally, and globally.

We're a welcoming, university-wide community where anyone working on public health – within the University or in partnership beyond it – can connect, share knowledge, and help shape meaningful change.
