This is particularly acute for communities who experience inequalities, like many of our local population in East London. The ageing society is one of the government’s “grand challenges” to help older citizens lead independent, fulfilled lives, continuing to contribute to society.

The theme seeks to promote collaboration in research to find solutions to these complex social challenges, and support the research mission and strategy of the faculty. Our research covers the whole life course from pre-conception to death, with a focus on metabolism, rare diseases, drug discovery, and health inequalities.
Our achievements since 2022 have included:
