Rate My Professor Marlous Hall

Marlous Hall is an Associate Professor of Epidemiology in the School of Medicine at the University of Leeds. She earned a BSc in Mathematics and an MSc in Statistics from the University of Sheffield, followed by a PhD in Paediatric Cancer Epidemiology from the University of Leeds. Hall joined the University in 2009 as a Medical Statistician. In 2014, she was promoted to Senior Epidemiologist in Cardiovascular Epidemiology and awarded a personal Sir Henry Wellcome Postdoctoral Fellowship. She was appointed University Academic Fellow in 2017 and has since become Associate Professor of Epidemiology, establishing the Survivorship and Multimorbidity Epidemiology research group. She serves as Deputy Head of the Clinical and Population Sciences Department within the Leeds Institute of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Medicine. Hall also co-leads the Leeds Institute for Data Analytics Health Community, co-directs the four-year British Heart Foundation PhD Programme in Cardiovascular Disease and Diabetes, and is a member of the Institute Executive Committees for Student Education and Research & Innovation.

Hall's expertise lies in epidemiology and advanced analytical techniques applied to large complex clinical datasets, including flexible parametric survival modelling, causal inference approaches, multistate modelling, multiple imputation, and multilevel modelling. Her research focuses on cardiovascular survivorship and multimorbidity, utilizing national datasets such as Hospital Episode Statistics and the Myocardial Ischaemia National Audit Project to examine disease trajectories and healthcare utilization following acute events like myocardial infarction. Notable publications include 'Multimorbidity and survival for patients with acute myocardial infarction in England and Wales: a population study of 590,728 patients' (PLoS Medicine, 2018) and 'Health outcomes after myocardial infarction: a population study of 56 million people in England' (PLoS Medicine, 2024). She has received significant recognition, including a University of Leeds Teaching and Research Award for MSc teaching, Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy, and a £2 million Wellcome Trust Career Development Award to advance treatment evidence for multimorbidity in cardiovascular disease.
