Neil Martin Davies

Neil Martin Davies is a Researcher at the Department of Public Health and Nursing, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). His work bridges epidemiology, genetics, and public health, with a focus on causal inference, Mendelian randomization, and socioeconomic health disparities.

His research explores the intersection of genetic epidemiology, developmental psychology, and clinical outcomes. Key themes include the impacts of antiseizure medications in pregnancy, cardiometabolic risks in psychiatric populations, and health policy implications of Mendelian randomization.

Recent publications highlight methodological advancements in directed acyclic graphs (DAGs), instrumental variable analysis, and family-based sampling. His work frequently addresses parental education effects, sleep patterns, and genetic correlations in large cohorts like UK Biobank.

Neil Martin Davies contributes to scientific reporting standards, co-authoring the STROBE-MR guidelines for Mendelian randomization studies. His collaborations span neurology, mental health, and health economics, emphasizing causal relationships over correlational findings.
