Diego is an intermediate research fellow based in the Clinical Trial Service Unit and Epidemiological Studies Unit (CTSU). He works in the Mexico City Prospective Study (MCPS) leading research capacity-building efforts in Mexico in collaboration with Mexico-based researchers. His own research uses observational and genetic epidemiology methods to investigate the determinants of cardiovascular, renal, and metabolic diseases - and their impact to health - in the Mexican population.
In addition to this, Diego is a tutor for the Principles of Epidemiology module in the MSc in Global Health Science and Epidemiology, and for the Public Health thread in the standard undergraduate Medical School course. He also supervises postgraduate research students in Oxford and in Mexico.
