Prof Rohini Mathur
Collaborator
Rohini has established an internationally recognized track record of conducting rigorous research to drive quality improvement and address health inequalities. In recognition of her expertise, she advised the UK Government as a member of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) Ethnicity Subgroup where her research informed strategies to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to working collaboratively across the WIPH centres on a range of projects focussed on health inequalities, Rohini also leads a number of strategic initiatives related to health data science at the Wolfson Institute; she is co-director for the Wellcome Trust PhD Program in Health Data Science, co-lead of the Wolfson Institute Data Science Taskforce, and lead for the Data Science workstream for Genes & Health, a community based, long-term study of health and disease in British Bangladeshi and British Pakistani people. Rohini is a fellow of the Digital Environment Research Institute (DERI) and her research interests include the application of causal approaches, observational epidemiology, and pharmacoepidemiology using large-scale cohort, genetic, and electronic health data to inform best clinical practice, guidelines, and policy.
