Informatics Research for Public Health
The Northwest Institute for BioHealth Informatics is an e-Health innovation hub, centred at the University of Manchester, for England’s Northwest Region.
Founded in 2004 with funding from the NWDA and supported by the University of Manchester, NIBHI now has a portfolio of grants in excess of £25M and as a direct result employs around 40 staff from a broad range of disciplines including: BioStatistics; Epidemiology; Software Engineering & Computer Science; Health- and Bio-Informatics; and Public Health Research, Sociology and Management.
Our environment is deliberately multi- and trans-disciplinary – harnessing computational thinking for the public’s health.
NIBHI implements programmes across traditional boundaries; whilst working closely with both the public and private sectors. We are research active and standards driven. Organisations wishing to collaborate with our exisiting work, or those who want to explore new collaborations please contact our Institute Administrator in the first instance: kate.england@manchester.ac.uk
