Dr Zoë Hyde is an epidemiologist and biostatistician based at the Western Australian Centre for Health and Ageing at the University of Western Australia. Her research seeks to understand how older people can age in a healthy way and avoid problems such as cardiovascular disease and cognitive impairment. She received the Endocrine Society of Australia's Servier Young Investigator Award for her work on frailty.
In addition to championing the health and well-being of older people, Dr Hyde is a leading public health advocate. Her work on COVID-19 has received national and international acclaim. She was a co-author of the influential John Snow Memorandum, which outlined the scientific consensus on COVID-19. This widely influential statement, published in The Lancet, was signed by over 6,900 scientists, researchers and healthcare professionals from across the world, and endorsed by 24 organisations, including the Federation of American Scientists, European Public Health Association, Union of Concerned Scientists, British Geriatrics Society, and the German Society for Epidemiology.
In 2021, Dr Hyde led a cross-disciplinary team (comprising experts in epidemiology, economics, and mathematics) which released independent modelling showing Australia needed to aim for a 90% vaccination target to minimise morbidity and mortality from COVID-19. This work received widespread media coverage, reaching 7.9 million people via television, radio, and print media.
