I studied clinical medicine in Iran and joined Cambridge University in 2006 for an MPhil in Epidemiology. I continued my studies to a PhD in Public Health with the help from Gates Scholarship. After finishing my studies in 2011, I worked in King's College London and then Imperial College London on various exciting projects on population-based clinical studies and state-of-the-art technological advances in the field of genomic and metabolomic studies. I am currently working in the University College London on the topic of electronic health records and use of Big Data for advancing patient care and population health.
