This subproject investigates current forms of data sharing and knowledge production focusing on health x environment interactions towards improving planetary health, with a particular focus on epidemiology and the intersections between molecular-driven analyses and research on the social determinants of health.
I am particularly interested in the ways in which the COVID-19 pandemic has put data science methods and Open Science infrastructures to the test; the methodological and conceptual implications of integrating such disparate data for public health research; and what can be learnt from the history of epidemiological knowledge and methods, particularly natural experiments and semantic systems, in designing and using data-intensive resources for planetary health.
This work intersects with the project conducted with Nathanael Sheehan on genomic data sharing.
