Ms Clare Gilham

Assistant Professor

United Kingdom

I am a statistical epidemiologist who graduated from the University of Reading in 1996 with a BSc in Applied Statistics and then in 1997 from the University of Leicester with an MSc in Medical Statistics. I have been in my current role since 1999 (Institute of Cancer Research 1999-2004 and LSHTM 2004-date).

Teaching

I am one of the co-organisers of the Advanced Course in Epidemiological Analysis short course. I also teach sessions for STEPH, SME and ASME and supervise distance learning summer projects.

Research

I am primarily involved in research concerning human papillomavirus (HPV) and cervical cancer screening. I am the PI of the Catch-up Screen Project, funded by Yorkshire Cancer Research, which will evaluate the impact of offering an at-home urine HPV test to women now aged 65-79 who left the cervical screening programme before the introduction of primary HPV testing. I am also updating two cohort studies investigating the long term risk of cervical cancer following HPV infection which recruited in Manchester: the ARTISTIC trial (a randomised trial of HPV testing in primary cervical screening) and the Manchester Cohort Study.
