Overview
Our research extends across the multiple disciplines in our three colleges.
Tackling global health challenges requires looking ahead, thinking in new ways and asking different questions.
What knowledge is being generated in different disease silos that can contribute to new ways of approaching other diseases?
How can knowledge gained in different disciplines be best put to work for improving health and social well-being?
Addressing research in a new way requires thinking across disciplinary boundaries.
College research groups
Edinburgh has a significant number of state of the art research centres in each of its three colleges.
- Humanities and Social Science interdisciplinary groups
- Medicine and Veterinary Medicine interdisciplinary groups
- Science and Engineering interdisciplinary groups
Each of these centres does world class research.
The Global Health Academy gives researchers in specific areas the opportunity to work across these many centres to generate new ideas and new science.
