Rachel Reid-McCann
Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Epidemiology of Pain
- PI group: Prof Vincent
 
I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Pain in Women and EndoCaRe research groups. My research interests involve using existing datasets to investigate the epidemiology of pain and mental health.
I am currently working on the RoADPain study, using data from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) to investigate genetic risk factors for adolescent dysmenorrhoea (period pain).
Prior to joining the Nuffield Department of Women's & Reproductive Health, I completed a PhD in Medicine and a Masters in Public Health (MPH) at Queen’s University Belfast's Centre of Public Health.
