Biography
Dr Ellie Paige is a Research Fellow with the Epidemiology for Policy and Practice group at the National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health. She is an epidemiologist with interest and experience in the analysis of large-scale cohort and administrative data and modelling of longitudinal data for chronic disease research. Her main research interests are in chronic disease prevention, with a focus on using large-scale data for cardiovascular disease predictive modelling. She is a member of the Australian Cardiovascular Alliance Big Data Flagship Advisory Group and is funded by a Heart Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship. She is involved in teaching and curriculum development for postgraduate population health courses at the Australian National University and supervises undergraduate and postgraduate research students.
