Studies

The MRC Epidemiology Unit is involved in many studies that look at obesity and type 2 diabetes. However, you do not need to have these conditions to help us with our research. We are constantly looking for volunteers to enrol in our studies and help us improve our knowledge of these diseases.  In this section you will find introductions to the studies that we are involved in. There is also information on how you may be able to help us with our research and what happens if you volunteer for our studies.

For information on how to become a volunteer in our studies click here.
