Ting-Li Su

Ting-Li Su is an Honorary Senior Research Fellow in Pharmacy with expertise in Spatial Statistics, Biostatistics, and Epidemiology. They are affiliated with the University of Manchester based on their research collaborations and the NIHR Research Design Service (RDS NW Great Manchester Office) where they serve as a Frontline advisor since October 2017.

Their educational background includes:

• PhD in Statistics from Lancaster University, UK (Thesis: "Application of spatial statistics to space-time disease surveillance data")
• ScM in Biostatistics from Johns Hopkins University, USA (Thesis: "Adjusting for Drop-Out and Non-Compliance in Randomized Trial: Application to ACTG 002")
• BS in Public Health from National Taiwan University

Dr. Su's research spans multiple health domains with a strong methodological foundation in spatial statistics and biostatistics. Their work contributes to several UN Sustainable Development Goals related to health and wellbeing. They have developed expertise in analyzing complex health data across dental research, gestational diabetes, opioid prescribing patterns, and fall prevention in older adults. Their methodological approach combines advanced statistical techniques with practical healthcare applications, resulting in impactful research that informs clinical practice and health policy.

Dr. Su's recent publications demonstrate engagement with cutting-edge health issues, with work focusing on gestational diabetes management, cleft lip repair outcomes, opioid prescribing patterns in Scotland, and fall prevention technologies. Their research shows consistent methodological rigor applied to pressing healthcare challenges, with particular attention to spatial and longitudinal data analysis across diverse medical fields.

Notable scientific contributions include:

• Co-authorship on the Manchester Intermittent Diet in Gestational Diabetes Acceptability Study (MIDDAS-GDM)
• Research on lip symmetry following cleft lip repair in children
• Analysis of regional variations in opioid prescribing patterns in Scotland
• Development of smartphone technology interventions for fall prevention in older adults
• Contributions to systematic reviews on dental caries detection methodologies

Dr. Su serves as Co-Investigator on the project "Effect of an intermittent low energy diet on glycaemic control and the requirement for anti-diabetic medication in women with gestational diabetes: a feasibility study" (June 2021-September 2024). They also contribute methodological expertise as a frontline advisor to the NIHR Research Design Service, supporting researchers in the Greater Manchester area with study design and statistical analysis.
