        MRC Population Scientist Fellow

        Dianna has interests in social and spatial health inequalities
. She utilises                         population simulation techniques to create estimates of health outcomes and                 behaviours  within small areas. Using such an approach allows the modelling of the         impact of policy interventions on local-level health outcomes .
