It poses a significant global healthcare challenge and has been associated with adverse clinical outcomes, increased mortality rates, and substantial financial burden. Patients with multimorbidity are two to three times more likely to die than those without the condition. The aim of this…
  • Environmental DNA (eDNA)
    With increasing applications of molecular profiling techniques in environmental projects, we collaborate with the Statistical Ecology research group where our interests overlap to share with each other developments in theory and methodology. Environmental DNA represents a resource for estimating the biodiversity of a system, the size of a population (or indeed whether a species is…
  • The HATUA Project
    Holistic Approach to Unravel Antibacterial Resistance in East Africa (HATUA) is an interdisciplinary study which is exploring the burden and drivers of antibacterial resistance (ABR) associated with urinary tract infections (UTIs) across East Africa. Led by Prof. Matthew Holden (School of Medicine), in St Andrews this represents a collaboration between the Schools of Medicine, Geography…
  • Pan Prostate Cancer Group
    The Pan Prostate Cancer Group (PPCG) is a collaboration between research consortia from several countries, uniting to address important questions in prostate cancer using a combined resource of molecular, clinical and pathology data from thousands of men. Led by Professor Ros Eeles at the Institute of Cancer Research, it seeks to gain insight into topics…
