Dr Kate Timmins

Biography

I joined the Epidemiology Group in 2022 as a Research Fellow. I am currently working with the Consortium Against Pain InEquality (CAPE), investigating the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and chronic pain.

I was first introduced to epidemiology whilst doing an MSc in Public Health Nutrition, and as a result pursued a PhD in Nutritional Epidemiology at the University of Leeds, investigating the monetary costs of diets and obesity (completing in 2014). Following this, I undertook post-doctoral positions at the University of Leeds, conducting a review on the use of new technologies in dietary assessment, and at the University of Nottingham within the Arthritis Research UK Centre for Sport, Exercise and Osteoarthritis. I moved to the University of Lincoln in 2016 as a Senior Lecturer in Physical Activity and Health. I have experience researching and lecturing in physical activity and nutrition, data collection methods, injury epidemiology, obesity and osteoarthritis.
