HPRU in Genomics and Enabling Data

The Health Protection Research Unit (HPRU) in Genomics and Enabling Data is a partnership between the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and the University of Warwick, in collaboration with the Centre for Genomic Pathogen Surveillance and the University of Cambridge.

The specific mission of the HPRU in Genomics and Enabling Data is to provide the methodological backbone required to improve national public health using new rich data sources. In particular, recent and ongoing developments in whole-genome sequencing technologies have a widely acknowledged great potential to help us improve public health, but this potential is currently incompletely realised due to a lack of sound and scalable methodology to interpret the data in the correct epidemiological context.
