معرفی
Pei Yu is a Research Fellow at the School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, Monash University, where she conducts impactful research at the intersection of environmental exposures and population health. Her work is deeply embedded in environmental and cancer epidemiology, with a strong focus on climate change, air pollution, temperature extremes, and urban environmental quality. She is actively involved in large-scale international collaborations and has contributed to high-impact journals such as NEJM, The Lancet Planetary Health, and Environment International.
Educational Background:
- Medical Degree, Dalian Medical University (2015)
- Master of Medical Sciences, Peking Union Medical College (2018)
- PhD candidate, Monash University (ongoing)
Her research interests in Environmental Epidemiology and Cancer Epidemiology are driven by a commitment to understanding how climate and environmental stressors affect human health. She applies advanced biostatistical methods to large datasets, particularly from cohort studies like the UK Biobank. Her work supports UN Sustainable Development Goals related to health and sustainable cities.
The recent articles highlight a consistent focus on climate-related health risks—heat, wildfires, floods, and urban greenness—using robust epidemiological designs. These studies often involve international teams and aim to inform public health policy and climate adaptation strategies.
Scientific Awards:
- Dean's Award for Excellence in Research - Team Award, Monash University (2024)
