Gemma Sawyer

I am a Postdoctoral Reserach Fellow in Epidemiology in the School of Psychology. My research examines the interplay between heavy and painful periods and depressive symptoms over the lifecourse, with broader research interests on understanding the physical, psychological, and social causes and consequnces of menstrual symptoms.

I have a background in quantitative epidemiology and statistics, with a particular focus on large longituidinal population-based cohort studies, causal inference, and missing data methods. I also have experience in patient and public involvement and translating research findings into policy recommendations. 

I am happy to be contacted regarding collaborative work or any other academic queries.
