Short Bios:

1) Professor Quint is a Professor of Respiratory Epidemiology in the School of Public Health at Imperial College London. She is an Honorary Consultant Physician in Respiratory Medicine at both the Royal Brompton Hospital and Imperial College London NHS Trust. She leads the Respiratory Electronic Health Record group, a clinical epidemiology research group whose interests centre on using various sources of de-identified, routinely collected electronic healthcare records to study a number of respiratory diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, interstitial lung disease, bronchiectasis and most recently COVID-19. Work centres on maximising the quality, linkage and usage of these data for clinical and research purposes. Research topics include understanding the relationship between cardiovascular and respiratory disease, respiratory disease prevention, diagnosis, natural history and management. Many of the outputs are used for informing policy and in the planning and allocation of resources.

2) Dr Whittaker is an HDR UK-funded early-career research fellow in electronic healthcare records at the School of Public Health. Her work focuses on investigating inequalities in the burden of chronic respiratory diseases using electronic healthcare records. Hannah obtained her PhD in Epidemiology at NHLI, Imperial College London, which focused on characteristics associated with lung function decline in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease patients using electronic healthcare records.
