Emma Duncan is a Clinical Professor of Endocrinology at King's College London within the Twin Research & Genetic Epidemiology department. Her work focuses on genetic epidemiology, long-term effects of viral infections (particularly SARS-CoV-2), maternal healthcare, and bone-related genetic disorders. She leads major studies like the COVID Symptoms Study exploring long-COVID's genetic and social determinants. Her research contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to good health and well-being (SDG3), gender equality (SDG5), and reduced inequalities (SDG10).
Key projects include analyzing post-pandemic maternity care systems, investigating menopause's role in frailty, and genomic studies on long-COVID. She collaborates with institutions like NIHR and the Chronic Disease Research Foundation. Over 187 publications highlight her work in epidemiological methods, vaccine efficacy, and genetic associations with skeletal diseases.
Her interdisciplinary approach integrates clinical data from longitudinal cohorts, digital health platforms, and genetic analyses to address public health challenges. Recent studies examine socioeconomic disparities in recovery from long-COVID and cost implications of maternal care during pandemics.
