GPIS brings together researchers, students and collaborators from different backgrounds and institutions around a shared agenda: understanding how health, relationships and contexts change over the course of life.
Our team combines epidemiology, public health, data management and analysis, longitudinal research and new ways of observing health and behaviour.
