This new UBEL pathway includes one institution with
world-leading expertise on biosocial research, with many links to UBEL groups
and pathways, including anthropology, brain sciences, economics and
biosciences. It receives significant ESRC investment and is relevant to ESRC
priorities, including advanced quantitative methods, biosocial research,
longitudinal and lifecourse studies.
This new pathway builds on the successful
ESRC-BBSRC CDT and supports students to develop skills to understand how social
environments, biology and behaviours intersect to influence health and
functioning within a lifecourse framework. The pathway offers leadership in
lifecourse research, social epidemiology, neuroscience, ageing, genomics,
innovation in advanced analytic methods, psychobiology and works with a number
of UCL-based birth cohort and longitudinal studies.
