Biography

Ellie Paige is a Research Fellow with the Epidemiology for Policy and Practice group at the National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health. She is an epidemiologist with interest and experience in the analysis of large-scale cohort and administrative data and modelling of longitudinal data for chronic disease research. Her main research interests are in cardiovascular disease prevention and mental health. Ellie’s current research is on inequalities in the use of treatments for the secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease and she is collaborating with researchers at the University of Cambridge and UCL using UK electronic general practice patient records for cardiovascular disease absolute risk prediction.
