Elizabeth Wrench

Elizabeth Wrench serves as a Research Fellow in Cancer Epidemiology at Lancaster University's Medical School, with research bridging oncology, public health, and vector-borne disease control. Her work focuses on translational applications of epidemiological methods to cancer care and infectious disease surveillance, evidenced by multiple 2025 publications. Contact: l.wrench@lancaster.ac.uk.

Educational background includes:

• PhD in Cancer Epidemiology, Lancaster University (2025)

Her research program integrates geospatial analysis with clinical interventions, particularly examining glycaemic control in pancreatic cancer and prehabilitation strategies for gynaecological cancer patients. She actively investigates socio-ecological determinants of mosquito-borne diseases in Europe and North America, emphasizing stakeholder collaboration in model development. Methodologically, her work employs scoping reviews, epidemiological modeling, and public health expert consultations to address translational research gaps.

Analysis of her 2025 publications reveals two interconnected research streams: (1) oncology-focused studies exploring exercise-based therapies and metabolic management in cancer, and (2) vector-borne disease research emphasizing transnational surveillance systems and stakeholder engagement frameworks. This dual focus demonstrates her commitment to addressing complex health challenges through interdisciplinary epidemiological approaches.

She contributes to the Experimental Medicine research group at Lancaster Medical School, which fosters cross-disciplinary collaboration on disease mechanisms and therapeutic innovations.
