About

Jennifer Lund, MSPH, PhD, FISPE is Professor of Epidemiology and the Director of Data Strategy and Education with the UNC Lineberger’s Cancer Information and Population Health Resource (CIPHR). Dr. Lund conducts pharmacoepidemiologic and health services research, with applications in cancer, aging, and the environment. The overall objective of her work is to generate robust evidence on the delivery and effectiveness of healthcare interventions that will improve decisions made by policymakers, providers, and patients and their families. Dr. Lund’s research program draws upon clinical trials, large healthcare databases, publicly available surveys, and environmental data, along with advanced epidemiologic methods to evaluate: (1) the delivery of high-quality care, (2) the effectiveness and safety of treatment, and (3) the role of environmental exposures on treatment access, adherence, and outcomes. She serves on the International Society for Pharmacoepidemiology (ISPE) Board of Directors and is an Associate Editor for Pharmacoepidemiology and Drug Safety, as well as an Editorial Board member for Epidemiology and the Journal of Geriatric Oncology.
