​

Matina’s main area of interest is reproductive epidemiology and her research overall focuses on women’s health and reproduction. Matina has expertise in advanced statistical methodology, lifecourse epidemiology, data linkage, handling of big data and meta-analysis. She holds a Medical Research Council postdoctoral fellowship, looking at how reproductive indicators are associated or can be predictive of long-term women’s health outcomes (such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes) by using data from well-established cohort studies. With a recently awarded grant from Wellbeing of Women, Matina will investigate how birth weight and other events during pregnancy are associated with long-term maternal and offspring outcomes. She also co-leads the core outcomes in menopause project. Matina is a member of Wellbeing of Women Research Advisory Committee and is involved in various national and international collaborative projects looking at improving women’s lifecourse health.
