Genevieve Cezard

Dr. Genevieve Cezard is a Research Fellow in the Cardiovascular Epidemiology Unit at the University of Cambridge and a fellow of the Big Data for Complex Diseases driver programme (HDR UK). Her work leverages linked electronic health records across 70 million UK residents to investigate population health, with emphasis on health inequalities, disease associations, and multimorbidity development.

Her educational trajectory began as a statistician at the University of Edinburgh (2010), leading to a PhD from the University of St Andrews (2016) focused on ethnic health disparities in Scotland. Subsequent research established methods to characterize multimorbidity trajectories based on core diseases.

Genevieve's research spans:

• Long-term health impacts of diabetes and chronic conditions
• Social determinants of disease trajectories
• Population-level vaccine effectiveness analysis
• Epidemiological modeling of multimorbidity
• Health record linkage methodologies
• Disparities in healthcare access by demographics

She currently leads a fellowship project examining diabetes complications during the COVID-19 era (2020-2027), analyzing health consequences across diverse subgroups using integrated GP/hospital records from England, Scotland, and Wales.

Scientific recognition includes:

• Competitive St Leonard’s PhD studentship (University of St Andrews)
• Prestigious HDR UK Big Data for Complex Diseases Fellowship

As lead analyst for England on the first UK-wide study of under-vaccination using individual-level health records, her findings directly informed national public health interventions. Current work focuses on identifying diabetes-related disease trajectories to optimize clinical follow-up protocols across the UK healthcare system. She collaborates within HDR UK's Molecules to Health Records Driver Programme, utilizing cross-institutional health data infrastructure.
