Dr Lee Nedkoff is co-Director of the Cardiovascular Research Group in the School of Population and Global Health, and a Senior Research Fellow in cardiovascular disease epidemiology. She also heads the Cardiology Population Health laboratory at the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute, based at UWA. She is a current National Heart Foundation Future Leader Fellow. Dr Nedkoff undertook her PhD at UWA investigating the epidemiology of coronary heart disease in people with diabetes, for which she was awarded the CAPHIA PhD Excellence in Public Health Award in 2016. She has previously held an NHMRC Early Career Fellowship and has been awarded over $9 million in grant and research funding.

Dr Nedkoff leads a research program focused on population-based studies measuring the burden of cardiovascular diseases, including coronary heart disease, stroke, peripheral arterial disease and atrial fibrillation. She has expertise in the use of multi-jurisdictional linked health data in cardiovascular epidemiological studies. A focus of her research is age-and sex-specific trends in acute coronary syndromes, and development of robust methods and analytic approaches for using linked data in cardiovascular disease research.
