Epidemiology Umcg

The Department of Epidemiology’s mission is to build a future with Healthy Aging by conducting research and teaching, and providing research support. Research is the department’s leading activity. Our goal is to study the patterns, causes and effects of health and disease conditions in both the general population and in clinical populations. Consistently over the past ten years, the department’s overall focus has been on Life Course Epidemiology, which lies at the center of Healthy Aging, a main theme of both the UMCG and the University of Groningen. Overall, the Department of Epidemiology is a major driving force in initiating and conducting life course research and is instrumental to the clinical research within the UMCG’s main theme of Healthy Aging.
