Overview

Justin worked as a population biologist up to 2006 before moving into epidemiology. He worked on the detection of rare adverse events to drugs using large electronic databases before joining Exeter Medical School in 2013. He now works on various statistical projects in the Health Statistics Group and PenCLAHRC. Some recent studies include: randomised controlled trials of interventions in schools; an observational study of ambulance call rates to care homes; and a review of non-pharmacological interventions for ADHD. He is also working on a review of studies of mosquito survival in relation to disease transmission.
