Alwan, Nisreen - University of Southampton

个人简介

I am an Associate Professor in Public Health at the University of Southampton. I have a particular interest in the area of maternal and child health. I attempt to address research questions around how to optimise the health and wellbeing of women before and during pregnancy leading to better long-term health for them and their children. My vision is to contribute knowledge towards a healthier and happier mother and child journey throughout the world Dr Nisreen Alwan qualified in Medicine from the University of Baghdad in Iraq, and initially pursued training in clinical medicine in the UK which led her to obtaining the membership of the Royal College of Physicians (MRCP UK). She pursued a career in Public Health Medicine by obtaining a Master of Public Health (MPH) from the University of Nottingham and then joining the Public Health Specialist Training Programme in the Yorkshire and Humber Region. During that time, she secured a Wellcome Trust Research Training Fellowship based at the University of Leeds, obtaining an MSc in Statistical Epidemiology and a PhD in Nutritional Epidemiology as part of that. She is a Fellow of the UK Faculty of Public Health (FFPH).

研究领域

Nisreen’s research interests include: investigating the lifecourse aetiology of non-communicable diseases and exploring trans-generational influences on their epidemiology, in particular in relation to diet and nutritional status as risk factors; translating the findings from biomedical research studies which explore the early-life determinants of disease into improvements in routine healthcare services and public health; investigating the effectiveness of public health interventions in reducing non-communicable disease risk and reducing health inequalities through tackling lifecourse risk factors, and the role of web-based and smartphone tools as interventions in these studies; improving dietary assessment methods to enhance the validity and reliability of exposure measurement in these relationships; exploring the wider social and cultural determinants of physical and mental health in women and children;
