Nada Khan

Nada joined the Department of Primary Care in 2005.  She first began her career in Canada and the United States working in molecular biology and physiology before deciding to move into epidemiological research.  In 2002, Nada moved to the UK to complete an MSc in the Control of Infectious Diseases from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.  Her MSc project investigated the social and behavioural factors of dengue transmission in rural Malaysia.  After completing her MSc, Nada worked for two years in the Department of Epidemiology and Public Health at Imperial College London. 

Since arriving in Oxford Nada has worked on two projects related to cancer in primary care.  The first was a Department of Health funded trial to investigate the feasibility of using a CAPER diagnostic tool to assist early diagnosis of symptomatic colorectal cancer.  From January 2009, Nada has been funded by a Macmillan Cancer Support DPhil fellowship to conduct work on the health care needs of long-term survivors of cancer in primary care.  Her DPhil will involve analysis of a cohort of breast, colorectal and prostate cancer survivors in the General Practice Research Database (GPRD) and an in-depth qualitative interview study of cancer survivors.
