Manos Magklis

I am a Senior Data Scientist and an Epidemiologist specialising in Health and Nutrition topics.

I recently finished working a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Public Health Data Analysis at the University of Liverpool. My research focused on how inequalities in the health between less and more advantaged groups of people are born and perpetuated. To answer these questions, I undertook analyses in large longitudinal studies, such as the UK Millennium Cohort Study (MCS), and used methods embedded in the causal inference framework. These methods aim to tackle analytical issues like the unification of mediation and interaction, intermediate and time-varying confounding, and the existence of multiple mediators.

Between 2016 and 2020, I was funded by the Medical Rsearch Council, through the GW4BioMed Doctoral Training Partnership, to complete my PhD at the University of Bristol. My topic was how our genes and socioeconomic conditions increase our chances of gaining weight by predisposing us to eat in certain ways. To answer this, I used data from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC), also known as the Children of the 90s. I was supervised by Laura Johnson (Central for Exercise, Nutrition and Health, Integrative Epidemiology Unit), Laura Howe (Bristol Medical School, Integrative Epidemiology Unit) and Professor Tim Frayling (University of Exeter Medical School).

I hold a BSc in Nutrition and Dietetics from Harokopio University (Greece) and an MSc in Epidemiology and Public Health from Wageningen University (The Netherlands). I have also worked as a Dietitian, taught in Higher Education, and maintain a strong interest in teaching.
