The difference we make

What impact do we have locally, and across the world?

Our research is making a significant global impact by harnessing large-scale health data to enhance our understanding of diseases and improve treatments. By utilising real-world data collected routinely, we can monitor health trends and changes in near real-time, making our research more efficient and impactful. This approach allows us to collaborate with international partners, leveraging data science to address the global burden of disease. Our work supports better decision-making and the cost-effective delivery of treatments, driving advancements in health and care on a worldwide scale.

Our innovative environment at the Usher Building accelerates the development of scalable solutions to address health and social care challenges. We create a vibrant hub for innovation by bringing together clinical, academic, third sector and entrepreneurial expertise. This cross-disciplinary collaboration, which includes fields like machine learning, artificial intelligence and robotics, drives forward the future of care. By connecting with practitioners and engaging in clinical trials and cohort studies, we ensure our research translates into real-world applications, improving outcomes both locally in Scotland and globally. Our innovative teaching and education programmes offer a wide range of opportunities for upskilling, developing greater capacity and capability in key areas to build resilience for the future.
