• Biography/ Background

  Catherine Chittleborough is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Public Health. She started here as a postdoctoral researcher in 2011 after spending two years as a research associate in the School of Social and Community Medicine at the 最新糖心Vlog of Bristol in the UK.  Prior to that Cathy was an epidemiologist with SA Health for a decade, where her work focused on population health surveillance and chronic disease epidemiology, including diabetes, respiratory conditions, mental health and obesity. Cathy was awarded her PhD in August 2009, which examined the role of a life course approach to measuring socioeconomic position in population health surveillance systems. Cathy's postdoctoral work has focused on prediction of child and maternal outcomes based on factors measured in pregnancy, and the development of social, behavioural and physiological risk profiles over the life course. She is currently a member of the Child Health and Development Research Group.
