The Leggett Precision Hub for Alcohol Treatment
The Leggett Precision Hub for Alcohol Treatment aims to create personalised approaches to help people reduce their alcohol use that go beyond trial and error.
By using advanced science, we’re changing how we understand and treat alcohol addiction. Together, we aim to transform lives through innovation, compassion, and scientific excellence.
Why the Hub Matters
Together, Professor Frances Kay and Professor Chris Dayas saw the need for a space where researchers could connect, share data, and build new tools to improve alcohol treatment. The Leggett Precision Hub is a digital centre that brings together genetics, neuroscience, psychology, digital innovation, and lived experience to create more personalised care.
Join the Movement
The Leggett Precision Hub is more than a research centre, it’s a growing community of people working together to change the way alcohol treatment is delivered. Whether you're a researcher, clinician, or student, your ideas and expertise can help shape the future of personalised care.
