Xinchun Gu

PhD

Researcher

I am an epidemiologist and pharmacist, with my research primarily focusing on the surveillance of infectious diseases in England and the evaluation of vaccine uptake, efficacy and safety. I currently use primary care data from the Oxford-Royal College of General Practitioners Research and Surveillance Centre (Oxford-RCGP RSC), which collects data from more than 1900 practices across England and Wales, to evaluate the trend of respiratory infectious disease in the UK. I am also experienced in using primary care data from Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) and its linked external databases.

I currently supervise postgraduate students in the MSc in Applied Digital Health. I am a tutor for the Meta-Analysis module and the Big Data Epidemiology module in MSc degree programs. 

Prior to joining the University of Oxford, I completed my PhD in pharmacoepidemiology at the University of Manchester, focusing on the safety of gabapentinoids in patients with chronic non-cancer pain in primary care. I earned a Master's degree in Clinical Pharmacy from Peking University, specialising in endocrinology, and a Bachelor's degree in Pharmaceutical Science from Sun Yat-Sen University.
