GLOBAL HEALTH EXPERT
Hello
I'm a Medical Doctor & Epidemiologist
Davies Adeloye is an emerging name in non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and global health epidemiology. He is the Co-Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Global Health Reports.

About Me
I am a medical doctor, global health expert and epidemiologist with extensive clinical, research and teaching experience in the United Kingdom and Africa. I obtained my PhD degree in 2015 at the University of Edinburgh under the prestigious Charles Darwin International Fellowship.
During my PhD, I worked within the Global Health Epidemiology Research Group (GHERG), leading research on the burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Africa. After completing my PhD, I returned to Nigeria to lead a small group in the epidemiology of NCDs, focusing on Nigeria and sub-Saharan Africa. I recently developed the NCDs data profile for Nigeria, a project commissioned by the World Health Organization’s country office and the Nigerian Federal Ministry of Health. I am a recipient of a number of international awards including the US Carnegie fellowship, the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) for African researchers, and the African Organization for Research and Training in Cancer (AORTIC) emerging leaders’ award.
I am currently a Researcher at the Centre for Global Health, Usher Institute, University of Edinburgh, UK. I also hold an adjunct Senior Lectureship in Epidemiology and Community Health at the University of Ilorin, Nigeria. I am currently a Co-Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Global Health Reports and co-Director of the International Society of Global Health. I am a member of the European Respiratory Society, Pan African Thoracic Society, American Association for Cancer Research, World Association of Medical Editors, and European Association of Science Editors.
My main research interests are global health and epidemiology of chronic respiratory diseases, including COPD, asthma, allergies and lung cancer. I have supervised undergraduate and postgraduate students in epidemiology and global health. I have over 65 scientific publications, including journal articles, book chapters and conference papers.
