Our Hub team is drawn from several groups at the Universities of York, Sheffield and Leeds. The three universities have strong networks both between and within their institutions. These networks link us to a wealth of expertise across Departments, Institutes, Policy and other Research Units, Applied Research Collaborations, and Biomedical Research Centres.
