The online forum for the evolution of health & wellbeing
Over the past 50 years advances in medical science have resulted in an increase in life expectancy in many developed countries. Now the challenge is to ensure that this increased life expectancy is coupled with high quality wellbeing.
CRUCIBLE is an initiative that brings together research groups from across UCL to meet this challenge by creating, supporting and delivering innovative research. This research will be truly interdisciplinary ensuring that problems associated with lifelong health and wellbeing are investigated in their totality.
It is backed by 5 years of funding worth over £3 million, ensuring that leading UCL scientists and academics have both the time and resources to reach across discipline boundaries and engage in research that leads humanity to a better place.
