Population Health Data Science Research Seminar Series

Each seminar has a featured speaker(s) and theme and there will be an opportunity to connect and ask about their work.

Staff and students from Queen Mary and Barts Health NHS Trust are invited to join us, to: 

  • See and share examples of research excellence in health data science from across the Wolfson Institute of Population Health (WIPH) and Barts Cancer Institute (BCI), Queen Mary, Barts Health, and more widely
  • Develop deeper knowledge of the many health data sources available for research and hear directly from colleagues who are using them
  • Meet new collaborators and share expertise in using electronic health records and multimodal data to improve population health

PhD and Early Career Researcher showcase: Four presentations on current cancer-related research

A quick-fire showcase of current projects that use health data to tackle important questions around cancer and inequalities. Presented by four PhD and early career researchers from Queen Mary’s Wolfson Institute of Population Health (WIPH) and Barts Cancer Institute (BCI). 
 
Tahania Ahmad (WIPH) is using linked healthcare data to understand ethnic and socioeconomic inequalities in the health of a growing population of cancer survivors; Alison May Berner (BCI) is exploring complex questions around cancer risk, screening and treatment in the transgender population, considering the roles of hormones, sex-chromosomes, anatomy and gendered lifestyles; Rebekah Young (WIPH) is identifying the factors affecting equitable uptake of the Barts Health ‘Living With Lung Cancer’ app, which is a digital behaviour change intervention designed for patients to get fitter before they start cancer treatment; Stefanie Bonfield (WIPH) is designing an online discrete choice experiment to see whether people experiencing socioeconomic disadvantage are more likely to engage with new blood and breath tests for signs of lung cancer, in comparison to traditional scans.
