More than 2.2 million people in the UK are currently participants in population-based cohort studies[1] and 14 of these cohorts are hosted by or have links to Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾'s Faculty of Population Health Sciences and the IOE, Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøվ’s Faculty of Education and Society. This includes the oldest and the newest British birth cohort studies, and the largest tri-ethnic cohort in the UK.

Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ also curates or otherwise takes a leadership role over 25 intensively characterised clinical or electronic health record cohorts (with over 1000 patients/participants), focused on infectious diseases (particularly HIV and TB), obesity, cardiovascular disease, ovarian cancer, and the health of premature infants.
