Research interests

I have been investigating the causes of health inequalities in employment and mortality outcomes. For this I have been using large datasets including

UK Biobank
Public Health Scotland EDRIS
Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD)
Brazil 100M Cohort

The analysis methods I have employed (implemented using R) are

two sample Mendelian Randomisation
survival analysis
propensity score risk set matching
