Angela Pinot de Moira

Dr. Angela Pinot de Moira is a Research Fellow in Epidemiology at Imperial College London's School of Public Health and Faculty of Medicine, and a Guest Researcher at the Department of Public Health, Section of Epidemiology at the University of Copenhagen. She holds an NHLI Fellowship at Imperial and previously held a Lundbeck Foundation fellowship at the University of Copenhagen. With a background in immunology, her research bridges epidemiology, public health, and biomedical sciences through extensive collaboration across European birth cohort studies.

Dr. Pinot de Moira's research focuses on understanding how early-life social and environmental conditions impact respiratory health and allergic disease. Her work examines the role of the microbiome and immune response in health outcomes, with particular interest in cross-birth cohort analysis and making data FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable). She has developed expertise in federated data analysis through her involvement with DataSHIELD, where she serves on the steering committee and co-leads the Communications and Outreach theme. Her research spans epidemiological methods, environmental health, social determinants of health, and respiratory medicine, with a strong emphasis on collaborative, multi-center studies across European birth cohorts.

Her recent publications reveal a strong trend toward large-scale collaborative research using federated analysis methods to examine respiratory health outcomes across multiple birth cohorts. Her work increasingly focuses on social inequalities in health, environmental exposures (particularly green space), and the development of methodologies for secure multi-site data analysis. She has made significant contributions to understanding asthma epidemiology, allergic diseases, and the impacts of early-life exposures on long-term health outcomes across European populations.

• NHLI Fellowship at Imperial College London
• Lundbeck Foundation fellowship at University of Copenhagen
• HDRUK funding as part of the Social and Environmental Determinants of Health Driver Programme
• Membership on DataSHIELD steering committee

Dr. Pinot de Moira has secured significant research funding through fellowships and collaborative grants. She is actively involved in the EU Child Cohort Network and the UNICORN (Unified Cohorts Research Network) project at Imperial College. Her work emphasizes cross-institutional and cross-national collaboration, particularly through federated data analysis approaches that maintain data privacy while enabling large-scale research. She has developed expertise in both traditional epidemiological methods and advanced computational approaches for data analysis across multiple sites.

Dr. Pinot de Moira is a key contributor to the DataSHIELD infrastructure, which enables remote and non-disclosive analysis of sensitive research data. She co-leads the DataSHIELD Communications and Outreach theme and has been instrumental in developing and applying federated analysis methods across multiple European birth cohort studies. Her work is central to the EU Child Cohort Network, which has established a FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable) network of European and Australian birth cohort data.
