More about the Usher Institute

The Usher Institute is based in the College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine at The University of Edinburgh. It was established along with the very first Chair of Public Health in the world, in 1898. More recently it has become a data-driven innovation hub as part of the Edinburgh and South East Scotland City Region Deal, and is based in a fabulous new building at the Edinburgh BioQuarter. The Usher Building is home to the Usher Institute and partners from across the health and social care sector.

We look forward to seeing you at our events.
