معرفی
Jo Winterbottom is a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Glasgow's School of Health and Wellbeing, where she joined the Systems Science in Public Health Research Group in July 2023. She also serves as an Affiliated Researcher at the University of Glasgow Centre for Public Policy, focusing on systems approaches to health inequalities with emphasis on policy impact and cross-sector collaboration through initiatives like GALLANT, PHIUK, and SIPHER.
Her educational background includes:
- Health and Community Development from DeMontfort University, Leicester
- Linguistics from Lancaster University
Winterbottom's research centers on Public Health Policy and Health Inequalities, examining political, economic, environmental, and behavioral determinants through Systems Science methodologies. She integrates Wellbeing Economy principles and Climate Resilience frameworks to address complex health challenges, with strong emphasis on translating academic research into actionable policy interventions that maximize community health outcomes.
Her publication portfolio reveals a clear trajectory toward interdisciplinary systems thinking, blending climate science, economic modeling, and health equity analysis. Recent work demonstrates increasing focus on policy-relevant research, including systematic reviews of climate-health linkages, child poverty modeling, and urban sustainability frameworks that directly inform governmental decision-making processes.

She currently leads the HealthModUK grant (Medical Research Council, 2024-2028) and has held significant leadership roles in multi-million-pound initiatives including PHIUK (£7.5M) and SIPHER. Her project management expertise spans policy engagement, impact assessment, and consortium coordination without documented formal student supervision.
Embedded in multiple high-impact research ecosystems, Winterbottom leads the Systems Transformation workstream in GALLANT (applying Doughnut Economics to Glasgow's climate resilience), co-chairs PHIUK's Thinktank and Advocacy Working Group, and previously served as SIPHER's Learning and Impact Champion until March 2025. These roles position her at the critical intersection of academic research, municipal governance, and national policy development.
