Research Themes

The overarching aim of this HPRU is to support and strengthen the UKHSA in its role protecting England from emerging and zoonotic infections and biological threats. By bringing together internationally leading researchers at the University of Liverpool, Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, University of Oxford, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and UKHSA, we will exploit the synergy, world-class facilities, and breadth and depth in relevant research between these institutions.

We will achieve this through five research themes:

• Predict and Prevent
• Clinical Characterisation
• Public Health and Social Measures
• Medical Countermeasures
• Data, Modelling and Artificial Intelligence
