Our Cohorts

Our cohorts cover three main areas: common diseases, rare diseases and healthy population

Common diseases

Common diseases affect more than 2% of the population, often across age groups. Our national-scale recruitment covers Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD),  Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Diseases (IMID), Mental Health and Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)

Our Common disease work

Rare diseases

We aim to identify genetic causes of rare diseases, so improving rates of diagnosis, and enabling studies to develop and validate treatments.

We recruit affected participants and their relatives across several disease areas, including infection and immunity, neuroscience, rare cancers and cardiovascular disease.

Healthy population

We are very grateful for the support and goodwill of our participants. Their help is vital to our ongoing success.

Please get in touch if you are willing to discuss taking part in a research study. We welcome enquiries from anyone with or without a health condition.
