Inserm Research Director | CERPOP
Michelle Kelly-Irving is an Inserm research director, and leads the EQUITY research team at the CERPOP. She is specialised in the field of life course epidemiology, with a focus on the mechanisms and processes involved in the production of health inequalities across the life course. She has developed a program of research to examine intersecting social-structural factors that drive the production of health inequalities operating through psychosocial, material and behavioural mechanisms from early life onwards.
She is specifically interested in embodiment, the set of processes through which the social environment becomes biologically embedded, and in developing research combining social and biological longitudinal data.
She previously worked at the University of Bristol and obtained her PhD in epidemiology from the University of London, Centre for Longitudinal Studies, UCL-Institute of education. She studied anthropology at the University of Durham as an undergraduate.
