Lin Jiang

Lin Jiang is a Research Fellow in the Department of Community Medicine and Nursing at NTNU, affiliated with the Epidemiology and Medical Statistics research group. She holds a postdoctoral position and has collaborated with institutions like the Norwegian Directorate of Health and SINTEF Health. Her research focuses on identifying non-smoking risk factors for lung cancer, including physical inactivity, asthma, and obesity, alongside investigating causal relationships between vitamin D deficiency and atrial fibrillation. She employs advanced statistical methods such as Mendelian randomization and survival analysis using tools like R, STATA, SQL, and SPSS.

Her work spans epidemiological studies in the HUNT cohort, examining BMI changes, hormonal influences on cancer risk, and the interplay between lifestyle factors and chronic diseases. She has presented findings at international conferences, including the European Public Health Conference and the International Genetic Epidemiology Society annual meeting. Collaborations include projects on asthma symptom control, DNA methylation in lung cancer, and gender disparities in occupational health.

Liang’s expertise bridges statistical rigor with public health implications, addressing critical gaps in understanding preventable disease pathways. Her contributions have advanced knowledge in cardiovascular health, oncology, and gender-specific health outcomes, with a focus on translating findings into actionable public health strategies.
