RESEARCH OVERVIEW
Professor Gregg has expertise in diverse disciplines of population health, including epidemiology, health services and policy research, and health impact modelling. This work has involved evaluation of US and UK-based public programmes on diabetes and its morbidity and collaboration with investigators in China on the Da Qing Diabetes Prevention Follow-up Study, and the US-based Look AHEAD study.
In 2023, he was awarded €4.3 million in funding from Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) through its prestigious SFI Research Professorship Programme. The award, which comes as a joint appointment with Imperial College London, will fund a new research centre at RCSI, Converge: Centre for Chronic Disease and Population Health Research. The Centre will transform the way that population-level data and research platforms are deployed in Ireland to make key decisions for the prevention and reduction of the burden of chronic diseases.
His research interests include population surveillance of diabetes, its complications and care.
