Nadia Obi

Nadia Obi is a Research Fellow at the University of Hamburg's Faculty of Medicine, affiliated with the Institute of Medical Biometry and Epidemiology and the Center for Experimental Medicine. Her work focuses on epidemiological research, biostatistics, and public health, with a strong emphasis on cancer epidemiology, genetic factors, and environmental health impacts. She contributes to large-scale cohort studies such as the German National Cohort (NAKO), analyzing data on health outcomes, risk factors, and disease mechanisms.

Her research spans multiple disciplines, including the investigation of genetic variants in cancer predisposition genes, the effects of environmental exposures like heat stress on health, and the intersectionality of social determinants in health outcomes. She also examines survivorship and quality-of-life issues in cancer patients, particularly breast cancer survivors, exploring lifestyle factors and comorbidities.

Obi collaborates extensively with interdisciplinary teams, contributing to studies on neurodegenerative diseases, rheumatological conditions, and mental health comorbidities. Her work integrates advanced statistical methods and genomic data analysis, addressing both clinical and population-level health questions.
