New professor aims to improve pediatric health with statistical methods
Janet Peacock will join the Department of Clinical Medicine as a professor in July 2024. She is an expert in clinical biostatistics and data science and will be dividing her work time between Aarhus University and Dartmouth College in the USA.
Professor Janet Peacock conducts research in child health in both the UK and the USA, where she has contributed to prevention, treatment decisions, and national health policy. For instance, she provides insights into the long-term impact of premature births, cancer, and other conditions on individuals.
"My expertise lies in designing and conducting studies that provide valuable information to clinicians, researchers, and decision-makers in the healthcare sector, enabling them to make the most informed choices possible," explains Janet Peacock, adding:
"I feel very privileged to use my statistical skills to improve the health of both children and adults and am grateful for the collaboration with Professor Henrik Sørensen and Aarhus University. It will undoubtedly promote new research collaborations between the universities in Aarhus and Dartmouth."
Janet Peacock also prioritizes educating the next generation of researchers through mentorship programs, training, scientific articles, and engaging learning materials. She believes that robust research and practical teaching go hand in hand and looks forward to bringing her expertise to Aarhus University.
