Cancer, molecular and genetic epidemiology; Evidence synthesis Image Professor Evropi Theodoratou – Personal chair of Cancer Epidemiology and Global Health Research in a NutshellOne line of research of the group is to improve colorectal cancer identification from population screening and diagnostic pathways for symptomatic populations. The ultimate target is to reduce colorectal cancer death rate through improving survival outcomes and the patient journeys for those with symptoms that might indicate colorectal cancer.Another active research area of the group is the application of instrumental variable methods to investigate the associations between biomarkers, exposures and disease.Prof Theodoratou co-leads an international consortium of applied evidence synthesis - a international network of population health researchers and information specialists (UNCOVER), which over the last four years have conducted more than 40 evidence reviews and which is committed to responding quickly to requests from policymakers for evidence reviews.
