Dani Kim
BSc, MSc
DPhil Student
Dani joined the Clinical Trial Service Unit & Epidemiological Studies Unit (CTSU) and Lincoln College in October 2019 as a DPhil student in Population Health. Her DPhil investigates the cardiovascular determinants of frailty in the Chinese population using data from the China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB). Dani will validate a widely used frailty measure in CKB and explore the relationship between cardiovascular risk factors and frailty in older people.
Dani’s work is funded by the department’s MRC Population Health Research Unit scholarship and supervised by Dr Sofia Massa, Associate Professor Derrick Bennett, and Professor Robert Clarke.
Prior to joining the department, Dani completed her MSc in Public Health at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and worked as a research assistant at Imperial College London (Dr Foster Unit) where she analysed health service utilisation by heart failure patients through electronic health records.
