ALT "More than any specific aspect of my work, it is the scientific process itself that most excites me. I find orchestrating the development of a research question with colleagues and collaborators and steering it as it develops to fruition through publication and into policy and intervention enormously rewarding."

By bringing longitudinal data together, this collaboration facilitates multi-cohort research to allow verification of results with disparate lines of evidence, a method known as triangulation. By combining high resolution longitudinal data and large total sample size, we can maximise progress in chronic disease research.”
ALT 11 new studies join the CLOSER consortium. They are Born in Bradford, ELSA, Generation Scotland, Growing Up in Scotland, HEAF, LSYPE2, Next Steps, NICOLA, ONS LS, Whitehall II, and the Wirral Child Health and Development Study.
