Seminar Information
Seminar 1 Topic: From traditional epidemiology to precision public health
Speaker: Professor Søren Brage
Date: 22 July
Time: 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM
Location: CREATE Seminar Room L2, CREATE Tower
Please register for Professor Søren Brage’s seminar using this form. The registration links and information for the rest of HD4’s seminars will be published in due course.
Professor Søren’s abstract: Epidemiological studies with prospective design and long follow-up have established strong inverse associations between physical activity and fitness exposures and a range of disease endpoints, whilst surveillance studies document the distribution of risk factors and disease over time to allow evaluation of public policies in terms of their impact on population health potential. The recent proliferation of smartphone and wearables in the general population, coupled with advances in remote assessment methodology, heralds a new era for public health through enhanced translation of research findings directly into the hands of the general consumer and aligning with the aspirations of precision medicine.
