How can we measure the evolution of health research? A data-driven approach across funding systems
We developed a scalable method to classify health research across 26,000+ projects and their publications, combining expert knowledge and machine learning. This allows us to track how funding priorities translate into research outputs across systems and over time.
Navigating the Future of Health Research: Evidence for the FP10 Debate
Public funding is already transforming health research. This study shows how collaboration and societal relevance are increasing—while basic science remains central—providing critical insights for FP10 decision-making.
What national hospital data reveal about the growing burden of type 2 diabetes in Chile
Type 2 diabetes is rapidly increasing worldwide, yet hospitalization trends remain understudied in Latin America. Using national hospital data from Chile, our study explored recent trends in diabetes-related admissions and the complications driving this growing public health burden.
Enhancing Public Health and Environmental Safety through Onsite Waste Segregation in Animal Research Facilities
Animal research facilities generate diverse biomedical waste streams that require careful management. Our recent study highlights how onsite waste segregation plays a crucial role in protecting public health, ensuring occupational safety, and reducing environmental risks in research environments.
