Precision Health: Population Health Data Science

About the programme

‘Precision Health: Population health data science’ is a Barts Life Sciences research programme, co-led by Queen Mary’s Clinical Effectiveness Group (CEG) and Barts Cancer Institute – Centre for Cancer Biomarkers and Biotherapeutics. The research has initial funding of £5.7m from Barts Charity to develop new ways of using health data for the benefit of patients and the public.  

Our researchers are analysing data from the patient health records held by GP practices and hospitals, and data derived from tissue samples, imaging and genomics. We are studying disease risk factors and outcomes on a population scale to find new ways of preventing, diagnosing and managing chronic diseases in people who share the same characteristics. The long-term aim is to improve population health equity by enabling clinicians to tailor their approaches for specific patient groups.
