Improving health outcomes for all
Our research into everything from diagnosis and treatment, to health policy and systems, to equity and access delivers real and lasting change to the health of individuals and communities.
Dalhousie researchers work across disciplines to advance knowledge that improves our understanding of the biological and social underpinnings of disease, with the goal of developing and implementing evidence-informed interventions to improve wellness and longevity.
We also collaborate with government, industry, and communities to inform and evaluate policies while implementing community-based measures to improve health outcomes for all.
