About Graduate Research at the Institute

The Institute for Women's Health provides a multi-disciplinary and cross cutting environment for PhD and MD(Res) students, covering several themes including gynaecological cancer, bioinformatics, reproductive medicine, prenatal genetics, maternal and fetal medicine, and neonatology.

The Institute fosters an academic environment in which students can develop and pursue research at the highest level of accomplishment. It provides opportunities for graduate study at the forefront of basic science and clinical/translational research, in an internationally recognised centre of academic excellence. It seeks to develop research and academic skills of scholarship and to enable students to contribute to and learn from the broader objectives in women's health. In conjunction with the UCL Graduate School, the programme develops and fosters not only the specific skills required in a particular area of research, but also generic and transferable skills that enable students to compete in the broadest range of career opportunities.

An Environment for Research and Scholarship

The UCL EGA Institute for Women's Health provides research and clinical facilities of high calibre, including access to high-throughput proteomic, genomic, endocrine, cell and molecular laboratories, and clinical and experimental neuro-imaging facilities. We also have extensive collaborative links with both Physiology and Anatomy. This environment is further enriched by the UCLH Phase 2 Maternity Hospital, opened in 2008, the location of some Institute research in the new Cancer Institute, and a planned joint UCL/UCLH initiative to provide the Institute with a single building to bring together the clinical and research themes.
