At the National Perinatal Epidemiology and Statistics Unit of the Centre for Big Data Research in Health, I am leading and collaborating a number of project using large-scale data linkage with multiple researchers and partners on examining effectiveness and safety of smoking cessation pharmacotherapy;Ìýaccuracy and effectiveness of international growth charts on measuring small and large for gestational age newborns;Ìýimpacts of maternal country of births on adverse perinatal outcomes;Ìýand effectiveness and safety of medically assisted reproduction treatment on mothers and babies.ÌýÌýÌýÌý
