DrMariachiara Di Cesare

I am Honorary Research Fellow in Population Health at Imperial College London after joining, as Senior Lecturer in Public Health, Middlesex University. I obtained a Master's degree in statistics and demography and a PhD in Demography from the University of Rome 'La Sapienza'.

Much of my work has focused on health with special interest in risk factors associated to communicable and non-communicable diseases. In particular I have been working on inequalities in non communicable diseases, risk factors contribution to overall and chronic diseases mortality, and the role of early nutrition on child development. Also I have been working on reproductive health in developing countries focusing on adolescent reproductive behaviours and their impact on poverty.
