The Wolfson Research Institute conducts research on human health and well-being. The Institute brings together researchers from across almost all of Durham University's academic departments, along with their national and international networks. We seek to improve health and the quality of people's lives by informing policy and practice.

We have a particular commitment to the health and well-being of people living in the North East of England. There are strong relationships with the National Health Service and local government, and a flourishing programme of collaborative research.

International health is a key interest. This includes studies of immigrant populations in the UK as well as work that identifies risks, and seeks improvements, to the health of populations in other countries, especially the developing world.
