Quantitative population health scientist at Bocconi University
Benedetta Pongiglione is a quantitative population health scientist with training in demography, economics and epidemiology. She holds a PhD in Epidemiology and Population Health from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. She previously obtained a degree in Economic and Social Sciences from Bocconi University and completed the European Doctoral School of Demography program. She is currently involved on research on cost and outcome analysis of healthcare technologies and development of scientific models to investigate medical practice variations to foster the use of economic evaluation in policymaking. Benedetta’s research interests include socio-structural inequalities in health and understanding their trajectories over the life course.

PhD student at Oxford University
Mei is writing up her PhD thesis on biological ageing based on clinical biomarkers at the Nuffield Department of Population Health and Big Data Institute in the University of Oxford. Previously, she worked in an industry-academia collaboration at UCL investigating socioeconomic inequalities in life expectancy with and without multimorbidity, and contributed to the development of statistical software for estimating state-specific life expectancies.
