The Cancer Epidemiology Unit (CEU) is part of Oxford Population Health in the Medical Sciences Division at the University of Oxford.
CEU has over 60 staff and research students. The Unit specialises in large-scale and collaborative studies of lifestyle and genetic risk factors for cancer, and for other common diseases of adult life such as heart disease, fractures and dementia.
