Academic Biography
Helen Moore is a Research Fellow, leading the day to day work of the Evaluation and Impact Team. Helen studied at Durham University, where she obtained a BSc (Hons) in Cell Biology. This was followed with an MSc in Information Technology, and a PhD in Nutrition and Obesity both from Teesside University. Her PhD consisted of two Cochrane systematic reviews and an analysis of data from a large cohort of patients living with Type 2 Diabetes.
Helen has worked on many different trials and evaluation projects examining subjects including Education, Nutrition, Obesity, Physical Activity, as a Lecturer in Research Methods, a Knowledge Transfer Partnerships Manager at Teesside University and, most recently, as the EPSRC Knowledge Exchange Manager at Durham University.
Summary of Research Interests
Helen’s personal research interests focus on public health, children and education. These are supported by both working to a) synthesise the currently available primary evidence into a review format (rapid reviews to systematic reviews) and b) develop and evaluate of interventions to prevent and treat obesity.
Through her role as lead of the Evaluation and Impact Team, Helen also supports members of Teesside University develop their research portfolios.
