With an open mind and unbridled vision, no problem is too great for a Herts Researcher to explore. Underpinned by our mission to protect people and the planet, our research seeks to deliver globally, inclusively, and at pace.
We collaborate on inter-disciplinary projects not only with our colleagues, but also with international agencies, industry, the public sector and other universities around the world. Our partnerships always have the shared aim of improving people’s lives and making a difference.
Our research is diverse but joined up. We believe in sharing ideas and pushing boundaries. We pioneer the application of techniques used for space discovery to improve the diagnosis of disease, because we believe that curiosity driven research is what drives society forward.
