Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics
About this group
Group information
Our research is concerned with how inherited characteristics, environmental exposures and treatment influence the risk of specific diseases (such as cancer, immune-mediated and metabolic diseases), and disease outcomes. Often, we use a life-course approach which assumes that the consequences may differ by age at exposure, that some risks accumulate over time, and there may be a substantial delay between initial exposure and disease outcome. Epidemiology is a science of study/experimental design, while biostatistics involves analysis, often of large and complex data.
