Eleni Domzaridou
BSc, MSc, PhD
Data Scientist
Eleni is a data scientist in the UK Biobank Health outcomes team within the Nuffield Department of Population Health. Currently, she contributes to a programme aimed at enhancing health outcomes phenotyping in UK Biobank. She also conducts multidisciplinary research at the intersection of statistics and clinical investigation. Her primary expertise lies in utilising large electronic health records, such as the Clinical Practice Research Datalink, secondary care data from Hospital Episode Statistics, mortality data, as well as deprivation and national costing data. She has worked on projects investigating adverse outcomes in patients prescribed opioids, antibiotics, or corticosteroids in primary care.
Eleni earned her PhD in Epidemiology and MSc in Health Data Science from the University of Manchester, and her BSc in Pharmacy from Aristotle University in Greece. During her doctoral training, which was funded by the NIHR GM-PSTRC, she gained experience in propensity scoring methods, statistical modelling, and techniques for controlling confounding variables in observational research. She applied a range of statistical methods, including inverse probability of treatment weighting, Poisson, negative binomial, and Cox regression modelling. Before joining the University of Oxford, she was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Manchester.
