Overview

The Research Centre for Health, Ageing and Understanding Disease (CHAUD) delivers interdisciplinary research to explore health and diseases across the life course.

The CHAUD research centre aims to tackle some of this century’s most urgent health challenges through harbouring expertise in priority research themes:

  • Cancer Biology, Immunology and Therapeutics (CBIT)
  • Metabolic Health
  • Antimicrobial Resistance, Omics and Microbiota (AROM)
  • Integrative Neurophysiology

Together the centres themes enable a collaborative research ideology to generate answers to urgent questions and benefit our understanding of human health. Our researchers investigate cellular and physiological mechanisms to identify of fundamentals disease progress and provide new therapeutic tools. As a collaborative team we strive to detect disease earlier and aid the development of new treatments through the utilisation of state-of-the-art technological platforms.
