Population health improvement requires action on commercial, political, economic and social determinants of health, engaging with the complexity of both the challenges and the responses to them.

Building on the ground-breaking work of the Tobacco Control Research Group (TCRG), we investigate how corporate practices and global structures affect health, well-being, and equity. Our transdisciplinary research uses rich data and diverse methods to evaluate the real-world impact of policies and interventions across local, national, and global contexts.We are committed to social justice, public interest science, sustainability, and nurturing the next generation of public health research leaders. Through projects like Local Health and Global Profits, we connect global corporate power to local health outcomes—driving change that helps people and places thrive.
