Dr. Tien-Yu Owen Yang is an epidemiologist at the University of Oxford, with qualifications and clinical experience as a pediatric specialist. He has been engaged in epidemiological analysis and cohort studies for many years. After obtaining his DPhil from the University of Oxford in 2009, he joined the Department of Cancer Epidemiology and was awarded the Outstanding Research Award from the Oxford University Population Health Sciences Institute in 2015. Dr. Yang has been long involved in the Million Women Study in the UK, and he is currently one of the main researchers in this study. He works closely with Professor Valerie Beral, a senior epidemiologist and founder of the Million Women Study. His research also includes pediatric epidemiology, specifically focusing on the long-term health effects of multiple exposures during childhood. Dr. Yang has also participated in statistical data analysis meetings at related research institutions, such as the Alan Turing Institute for Data Science and the British Heart Foundation. Currently, his main research focus at Oxford is in life course epidemiology. What makes his background even more unique is that in recent years, he has returned to clinical practice in the UK to receive training in general practice, which allows him to share insights with students about the UK’s public healthcare system.
