ABOUT
Averting, preventing and reducing avoidable disaster deaths.
Avoidable Deaths Lab (ADL or AD Lab) is a non-profit venture of the University of Leicester’s Avoidable Deaths Network. Launched in 2025 by Professor Nibedita S. Ray-Bennett, AD Lab was established with funding from the ESRC-UKRI (1037) SHAPE Catalyst Fund, delivered through the ARC Accelerator.
AD Lab’s mission is to transform research into action by developing and commercialising evidence-based, affordable, and locally adapted lifesaving products and services. Through innovation, collaboration, and advocacy, AD Lab aims to reduce avoidable deaths in disasters and humanitarian crises while creating a sustainable cycle of research and innovation.
