Biography
Amal is a social and lifecourse epidemiologist with a keen interest in methodology (especially longitudinal methods), specialising in health inequalities and noncommunicable disease epidemiology. His strengths lie in observational epidemiology and mixed methods, data management and analysis, teaching (basic and advanced epidemiology and biostatistics, methods for health inequalities research and social medicine), project management and supervision of research projects (specifically MSc dissertations and PhD projects). In the past 5 years, he has developed a strong interest in non-communicable diseases, mental health and specifically in comorbidity between mental and physical health and associated inequalities, especially those related to marginalised and minority groups. He currently leads a mixed-methods project examining mental health inequalities in individuals with multiple minority identities (expanding on intersectionality and the minority stress and cultural relational theories).
Research
Health Inequalities, Societies and Systems
Central to our research is understanding and tackling the systemic and intersecting drivers of disparities in health over the life course such as racism, gender, crime, precarious livelihoods, environmental pollution, and inaccessible health care. We work collaboratively across the School of Life Course and Population Sciences to strengthen the theoretical aspects of population health research.
