Sectoral decarbonisation, climate change, the environment, population health and planetary health are intrinsically linked. Read more
Sunlight and skin type: exploring the vitamin D status of the black-skinned population in UK
Research Group:
Molecular Environmental Sciences
Vitamin D is necessary for calcium homeostasis, and thus a healthy musculoskeletal system. It is also implicated in contributing to defences against a range of other ailments including autoimmune diseases, respiratory tract infections and cancers. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Validity of population adjustment methods for disconnected networks of evidence
Network meta-analysis (NMA) is a method to pool published summary treatment effects from randomised controlled trials (RCTs) to obtain estimates of relative treatment effects between multiple treatments. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Internalized weight stigma: using general population data to understand causes and consequences in young adulthood
Obesity is common, affecting 28% of adults and 16% of children in England(1) but it is also highly stigmatized. Weight-related discrimination is widely observed in workplace(2), educational, and medical(3) settings, and appears to damage health in diverse ways. Read more

Food Allergy in UK Adults
Many adults report adverse reactions to food (up to 30% in Europe), but IgE mediated food allergies are much less common (1-5%). The distinction is important as true food allergies can be life threatening whereas intolerances cause troublesome symptoms that can be debilitating but do not pose an immediate risk t life.
