Claire Carson is an Associate Professor in Epidemiology, based in the National Perinatal Epidemiology Unit (NPEU). She has training in both quantitative and qualitative methods, and specialises in the analysis of observational and routine data. Her research interests include infertility and fertility treatment, preterm birth, and breastfeeding.

She now holds an MRC Career Development Award to investigate the longer-term outcomes of fertility treatment in women and their children using record linkage.
