Martin O’Flaherty is Professor of Epidemiology working in the NCD Prevention Food Policy Research group. His research work is focused on the development of innovative simulations to explore preventative options to reduce the unequal social and economic burden of non-communicable diseases in more than 20 countries. The ongoing IMPACT Model programme includes a range of modelling methodologies, including microsimulation, Markov models, economics and comparative risk assessment methods. Current research topics include evaluation of salt reduction policies, effectiveness and equity impact of cardiovascular disease prevention and modelling the joint burden of cardiovascular disease and dementia. This modelling research programme will offer many opportunities to innovate in quantitative approaches and simulation methods.
