Jennifer Lane

Jennifer Lane serves as a Clinical Lecturer in Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery within the Centre for Bone and Joint Health at Queen Mary University of London's Blizard Institute, Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry. Her work bridges academic research and clinical practice, focusing on large-scale epidemiological studies of musculoskeletal conditions using real-world data from national healthcare systems.

Her educational foundation includes:

• Undergraduate medicine at Exeter College, Oxford
• Masters of Surgical Education at Imperial College London (graduated with distinction)
• PhD in Musculoskeletal Sciences at the University of Oxford

Dr. Lane's research program centers on epidemiology, real-world data science, and federated network analyses applied to hand and wrist surgery. She has established herself as a leading investigator in the epidemiology of common hand conditions, with findings directly influencing NHS clinical guidelines. Her methodological expertise in big data analytics enables innovative approaches to studying trauma patterns and surgical outcomes across diverse populations.

Analysis of her recent publications (2022-2025) reveals a consistent focus on leveraging national databases for population-level surgical research, particularly examining hand trauma, hip fracture management, and the intersection of metabolic surgery with peripheral nerve conditions. Her work demonstrates sophisticated application of observational health data science to address pressing clinical questions in orthopaedics.

Her scientific recognition includes:

• NIHR Academic Clinical Fellowship
• Versus Arthritis Clinical Research Fellowship
• MRC Doctoral Training Fellowship

As an educator, Dr. Lane lectures for Oxford University's Masters in Surgical Science & Practice and DPhil in Musculoskeletal Sciences programs. Her research is supported by competitive fellowships that funded her doctoral work on hand condition epidemiology. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she contributed as a core member of an international research consortium whose findings directly influenced national treatment policies in Europe and the United States.

She operates within the Centre for Bone and Joint Health's collaborative research environment at the Blizard Institute, while maintaining active involvement in international research networks focused on real-world evidence generation in surgical care.
