Megan Conroy
Epidemiologist
I joined NDPH in 2017 as an epidemiologist for UK Biobank. This role involves scientific review of applications for access to the dataset, enabling researchers to use the data efficiently and contributing to potential enhancements of the dataset.
My research interests are in chronic disease and multimorbidity, and I am currently undertaking a DPhil entitled ‘The extent of multi-morbidity in cancer patients in diverse populations’.
