Associate Professor Grace Joshy

Senior Fellow

Biography

A/Prof Grace Joshy leads the Statistical Methods in Large Scale Epidemiology program of work, including the NHMRC funded project quantifying mortality incorporating multiple causes of death. She has particular interest in causal modelling and cohort studies, in particular survival models. Her current research focuses on chronic diseases, Aboriginal health and health service use.

Her research is fuelled by various collaborative projects, particularly CVD/cancer epidemiology and survivorship research; large body of work on tobacco harm reduction and e-cigarette use with Prof Banks; Aboriginal health projects with Prof Eades, including research through an NHMRC Project Grant on the health of Aboriginal infants and children in Western Australia and another on prevention of dementia in Indigenous Australians; pharmaco-epidemiology projects, including work through NHMRC Centre for Research Excellence in Medicines and Ageing; and Humanitarian Research, including work with international collaboration led by A/Prof Lokuge.

Selected high impact publications include the Global BMI Mortality Collaboration paper (Lancet 2016), a landmark study on smoking and mortality in Australia (BMC Medicine 2015) and a commissioned project on the estimation of life expectancy of Australian men by age and health status for the Cancer Council Australia and Prostate Cancer Foundation.

She graduated with a PhD in Medicine in 2010 from the University of Auckland. Her PhD thesis, "Linking Existing Databases to Monitor and Improve Diabetes Care", included a range of research projects including Ethnic Disparities in Causes of Death, Retention of Patients in the "Get Checked" Annual Review Program and Progression of Renal Disease among Indigenous and non-Indigenous People with Diabetes; her distinction in research led to awards including Kudos Hamilton Excellence in Research Award 2009 for Emerging Scientist Finalist and New Zealand Society for Study of Diabetes Professional Development Award 2008.

To date she has attracted >$7 million as a Chief Investigator including an NHMRC Project Grant as CIA (2019-2021), MRFF Primary Health Care Research grant (2021-2024) and NHMRC funded randomised controlled trial on prevention of dementia in Indigenous Australians (2018-22), an NHMRC Project Grant on person-centred outcomes in cancer (2018-21) and another investigating the health of Western Australian Aboriginal infants and children (2015-19) and >$150,000 in commissioned consulting work for policy agencies. She also plays a major role in mentoring and capacity-building at the ANU through research supervision, postgraduate and short course teaching in Biostatistics and Epidemiology.
