About CTSU

CTSU is part of the Nuffield Department of Population Health, a major section within the Medical Sciences Division of Oxford University, which conducts internationally renowned research into medical treatments and the factors affecting population health worldwide, with a history of high-impact results.

CTSU’s work chiefly involves studies of the causes and treatment of “chronic” diseases such as cancer, heart attack or stroke (which, collectively, account for most adult deaths worldwide), although it does also involve some studies of other major conditions in developed and developing countries.
