King’s is part of the “golden triangle" of universities located in the cities of Oxford, Cambridge and London. King’s is under royal patronage, with the late Queen Elizabeth II having been patron.

KCL is the largest European centre for graduate and post-graduate medical teaching and biomedical research. King’s alumni and staff include 14 Nobel laureates; contributors to the discovery of DNA structure, Hepatitis C, the Hepatitis D genome; pioneers of in-vitro fertilisation, stem cell/mammal cloning.

King’s is located in central London with its historic Strand Campus and three other Thames-side campuses (Guy’s, St Thomas’ and Waterloo). It is home to six Medical Research Council centres and is a founding member of the King’s Health Partners academic health sciences centre, Francis Crick Institute and MedCity.

Department of Informatics hosts the UKRI Centre for Doctoral Training in Safe and Trusted Artificial Intelligence.

Ageing Research at King's

Ageing Research at King’s (ARK) is a cross-faculty multidisciplinary consortium of investigators which brings together scholarship and research in ageing in several complementary areas. ARK is a leading industry-academic R&D hub for personalised and preventive diagnostics, prognostics and therapeutics. ARK represents King’s world class excellence for research on the biology of ageing, from the basic mechanisms in biogerontology to clinical translation and the social impact of ageing to better inform global policy makers.

ARK funds the Data Value PhD research at the Department of Informatics at KCL.

Open Life Data Working Group

In 2022, AJAX was selected as one of the three case-studies for the Open Life Data Working Group, an initiative by the All-Parliamentary Group for Longevity.

Focus Groups, Interviews and Co-creation

Co-creation allows for a more holistic approach to digital system development, taking into account the perspectives and experiences of a variety of stakeholders, such as users, experts in the field, and members of the communities that will be impacted by the technology. By involving these stakeholders, ethical considerations can be identified and addressed early on in the design process, ultimately resulting in more responsible and inclusive AI systems.

Moreover, co-creation fosters transparency and accountability, enabling stakeholders to understand the technology and how it works. This helps build trust in the AI systems and ensures that they are developed with the best interests of all stakeholders in mind.
