Ellen

I (re-)joined the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies as coordinator of its the two London offices at the LSE and the LSHTM in October 2014. I was previously Director of the Health and Healthcare Policy programme at RAND Europe, Cambridge, UK and before that, Senior Lecturer at the LSHTM. My background is in public health with a Masters degree in public health (MPH) from the University of Bielefeld, Germany, and a PhD from London University (LSHTM).

I teach on Issues in Public Health and Health Systems

Research

My main interest and expertise is in health systems research, international health care comparisons and performance assessment. Over the past 10 years I led a programme of work around international health care comparisons and led major research projects in the field of health services and system responses to chronic disease. I am also experienced in the systematic analysis of population health indicators across European countries, including the application of demographic and epidemiological approaches to understanding factors contributing to population health outcomes.
