“Blind men and the elephant: from epidemiology to policy on ultra-processed diets and metabolic health”.
A fascinating talk by Ezster Vamos, a Clinical Reader in Public Health Medicine at Imperial College London and an Honorary Clinical Consultant at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust. Ezster’s research focusses on understanding the key drivers of non-communicable diseases and related health inequalities, using health impact modelling, natural experiments, and epidemiological methods.
She centres on the prevention and management of long-term conditions, particularly type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and evaluates policies targeting dietary patterns, ultra-processed foods, commercial determinants of health, and broader factors influencing health inequalities.
This will be in person only at the School of Public Health, 1st Floor, Room 104.
