Our aims
Our centre promotes lifelong health and wellbeing for infants, children and families.
We strive to reduce inequalities in early life. Our work aims to enable all individuals to enjoy lifelong physical and mental health.

We strive to deliver world-class, multidisciplinary research through a growing portfolio of Centres of Research Excellence (NUCoREs).
NUCoREs are priority areas for growth, aiming to:
- set a leading mission and strategy for collective research activities
- boost collaboration across disciplines and with external partners
- give researchers the freedom and opportunity to succeed
- co-ordinate the university's response to the world's major challenges
NUCoREs use university resources to build diverse teams of people from various career stages, disciplinary backgrounds and protected characteristics.
