Advancing Research in Chronic Disease Epidemiology
The Advancing Research in Chronic Disease Epidemiology Research Programme is led by Professor Nigel Unwin.
The overall goal of this research programme is to contribute to the prevention and treatment of chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) across the life course. Our work embraces a broad range of methodological approaches, including:
- Demographic methods
- Modelling disease trends
- Systematic reviews
- Genetic epidemiology
- Spatio-temporal analyses
- Longitudinal and intervention studies
We have strong interests in obesity related disorders, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and on cancers.
We work in the North of England and internationally, and much of our work concerns populations undergoing rapid changes in their risk of these diseases, such as those in the rapidly growing urban areas of low and middle income countries. We have access to several large data collections and established cohorts.
We aim to meet our goal not only through research but also through building research capacity and informing national and international policy. For example, we are a World Health Organization collaborating centre for diabetes and are actively collaborating with colleagues in sub-Saharan Africa (Cameroon and Tanzania), China and elsewhere.
We have an ARCHEPI research programme website
