Profile

Biography

Eve is the Co-Director of the Epidemiology and Cancer Statistics Group. Her research group worked with NHS clinicians and laboratory scientists to establish the Haematological Malignancy Research Network (HMRN); predicated on NHS infrastructures, this unique population-based patient cohort continues to provide good quality “real-world” data to inform contemporary clinical practice and research – locally, nationally and internationally.

Starting at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), Eve is an epidemiologist with a longstanding interest in the exploitation of routinely collected health data for research purposes.  Collaborating on several large national/international cancer studies, notably the UK Childhood Cancer Study (UKCCS), she moved to the University of Oxford and then to the University of Leeds.  Re-locating to the University of York in 2004.
