Rate My Professor Snehal Pinto Pereira

Pereira's research addresses public health priorities across three complementary remits: leading MRC-funded projects on obesity, physical activity, strength, and ageing; examining pathways linking specific child maltreatments to adult outcomes; and contributing to the nationally funded Children and Young People with Long Covid (CLoCk) study, which characterizes the clinical phenotype and prevalence of post-COVID symptoms in children and young people. Her methodological approach leverages existing data resources effectively. Key publications include 'Effect of COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns on planned cancer surgery for 15 tumour types in 61 countries' in The Lancet Oncology (2021), 'Timing of surgery following SARS-CoV-2 infection' in Anaesthesia (2021), 'Long COVID (post-COVID-19 condition) in children: a modified Delphi process' in Archives of Disease in Childhood (2022), 'Sedentary behaviour and biomarkers for cardiovascular disease and diabetes in mid-life' in PLoS One (2012), and 'Depressive symptoms and physical activity during 3 decades in adult life' in JAMA Psychiatry (2014). Her contributions have impacted policy through evidence provided to SAGE during the COVID pandemic, co-authorship of four reports for the UK Department of Health and Social Care, and citations in governmental and charity documents such as NIHR’s Moving Matters review (2019). She disseminates findings via blogposts and podcasts.
