Health Protection Research Unit

The Health Protection Research Unit (HPRU) in Chemical Threats and Hazards is a partnership between the University of Leicester, UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

Our vision is to use new methods and collaborative working to provide a major improvement in our ability to detect exposures to chemicals, metal and air pollution in our daily lives and monitor and predict how they affect our health.

More information on our research, work with the public and developing inclusive research can be found on 'What is an HPRU'.
