Lois is a Senior Research Associate in the Cardiovascular Epidemiology Unit in the Dept of Public Health and Primary Care. Her research interests include application of simulation modelling methods to provide evidence for policy in a range of applications, including CVD screening and management, AAA screening and intervention, and blood donation. Her work focusses on the evaluation of stratified and personalised policies around timing and frequency of screening and intervention, which offer opportunities to optimise outcomes for patients and cost-effectiveness.
Recent work has included evaluation of personalised recall intervals for blood donation, the potential use of polygenic risk scores to inform screening for AAA, and the long-term impact of COVID on AAA services.
