Welcome to the Clinical Outcomes Research Unit
The Clinical Outcomes Research (CORe) Unit provides expertise in advanced analytics of existing or emerging clinical databases. Rather than service provision, CORe fosters collaborative relationships.
The CORe analysts are involved in conceptualisation and interpretation of research projects and work closely with principal investigators from other research teams, providing expertise in analytics, as well as insight into the subject of their research.

Components of the Unit
The success of the CORe Unit is driven by the three complementary skillsets available within the team.
Meet the Unit
The CORe Unit consists of researchers from wide-ranging backgrounds, who each add immense value to the group through their individual subject matter expertise and knowledge base. They each bring creative thinking, thoughts and ideas to the table, as they seek answers to complex problems both individually and as a group.
The CORe Unit consists of researchers and analysts who have come to the team from all over the world.
