Ben Lacey is a Senior Clinical Research Fellow at the University of Oxford, and an Honorary Consultant Physician in Public Health at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. His research is on the design, conduct and analysis of large-scale prospective cohort studies, and aims primarily to understand the effects of adiposity and other metabolic factors on the risk of cardiovascular disease. He is currently working on prospective studies in the UK, Cuba and India. He studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh and undertook specialist training in public health in Oxford, during which time he received an MSc in Global Health Science and a DPhil in Epidemiology. He was made a Fellow of the Faculty of Public Health in 2012.
