Seb Stannard

Dr. Seb Stannard is a Research Fellow at the University of Southampton, specializing in life course epidemiology and multimorbidity prevention. His work focuses on analyzing birth cohort data to identify early-life determinants of long-term health outcomes.

• Key projects include the MELD-B initiative, which developed a conceptual model of 12 early-life domains influencing future multimorbidity risk
• Active research areas: multimorbidity determinants, intervention time points, and prevention scenarios

Research Trends: Utilizes large-scale longitudinal datasets like SAIL MELD-B to investigate connections between childhood health exposures and adult comorbidities, particularly obesity-hypertension and education-health gradients.

Scientific Recognition:

• Lived Experience Prize (2024) for multimorbidity research
• Lived Experience Prize (2024) for patient-centered healthcare analysis

Collaborative Network: Works with multidisciplinary teams across institutions including the University of Southampton, SAIL Databank, and Aberdeen Children of the 1950s cohort.
