Biography

Imogen studied Biological Anthropology at the University of Cambridge, before completing an MSc in Human Nutrition and Metabolism at the University of Aberdeen in 1993. She then spent 13 years as part of the nutrition research team working on the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children at the University of Bristol, where she completed her PhD in 200. In 2007 she joined the School of Pharmacy and Biomolecular Sciences at the University of Brighton as a senior lecturer in human nutrition. In 2013 she moved to New York, and in 2016 started work for Willis Towers Watson. She returned to the UK and joined the Department of Primary Care and Public Health in 2017.

Research

Imogen’s previous research focussed on the dietary data collected as part of the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children, where she worked on a range of projects in the areas of pregnancy diet and birth outcome, and the relationship between infant and childhood diet and growth, body composition, and childhood markers of long-term risk of chronic disease. Recent research interests include systematic reviews in the area of cancer epidemiology and lithium in drinking water and suicide, and qualitative work in smoking cessation, mental health, and community engagement.
