The Wolfson Research Institute for Health and Wellbeing, established in 2001, is a major interdisciplinary unit at Durham and fosters research on human health and wellbeing. Our mission is to encourage and support high calibre interdisciplinary research to understand and address human health challenges.
We do this through our Challenge Academies. Each has been carefully built to address local and global unmet need in health-related issues. Closely aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 3, Good health and wellbeing; SDG 5, Gender Equality; SDG 10 Reduced Inequalities and SDG 17, partnerships for the goals), these Academies have the interdisciplinary approach unique to Durham University built in.
