Profile

I am a Professor of Clinical Epidemiology and Health Data Science at the Centre for Primary Care in the Wolfson Institute of Population Health. I also hold an honorary consultant post at Barts Health Trust. I have a clinical training in paediatrics and an academic training in epidemiology. 

I lead large-scale collaborative studies that identify and evaluate actionable opportunities to improve the health of children and their families. My research group is currently evaluating the health and education benefits of free school meals, strategies to improve childhood immunisation coverage, the causes and effects of household overcrowding and of childhood obesity, and the effectiveness of clinical and public health strategies to reduce health inequalities and improve the health of children and the adults they will become.

I lead the REAL Child Health group funded by Barts Charity, am coinvestigator on the Barts Charity funded Precision Health programme, which is part of Barts Life Sciences, a coinvestigator on the ADR UK funded Healthy Household programme and co-lead the data science workstream of the Tower Hamlets Health Determinants Research Collaboration.

As a member of the Clinical Effectiveness Group at Queen Mary, I am part of a team using data to support a learning health system for north east London and the development of the 'One London' Local Health and Care Record Exemplar and London Health Data Strategy.
