معرفی
Prof. Nathalie Conrad is an Associate Professor in health data science and epidemiology at the Nuffield Department of Women's and Reproductive Health (NDWRH) at the University of Oxford. She leads research focused on large-scale data analyses to study cardiovascular disease epidemiology, with particular emphasis on women's cardiovascular health and socioeconomic disparities in health outcomes.
Prof. Conrad holds a PhD in medical sciences from Oxford University and an engineering Master's degree from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich). Prior to her academic career, she worked as a data analytics consultant at IBM, bringing valuable industry experience to her research.
Her research interests span cardiovascular disease epidemiology, women's cardiovascular health, autoimmune disease epidemiology, and health data science. Prof. Conrad's group focuses on large-scale data analyses to study disease trajectories and risk factors, with special attention to women-specific risk factors in cardiovascular diseases and the role of maternal health in offspring congenital heart defects. Her work investigates how sex and socioeconomic differences impact disease incidence, care delivery, and outcomes.
Prof. Conrad's recent publications demonstrate a consistent focus on population-level cardiovascular health studies using massive datasets. Her research often examines the intersection of autoimmune conditions and cardiovascular risk, long-term trends in cardiovascular disease burden, and sex-specific health disparities. She frequently employs innovative data science approaches to analyze health outcomes across 22 million individuals in the UK, making significant contributions to understanding cardiovascular epidemiology.
