Dr. Lauren Walker is Reader in Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics and Honorary Consultant in General Internal Medicine. She co-leads the DynAIRx programme, funded by the NIHR AI in multimorbidity stream and her research interest involves utilising existing health record data to understand how multiple long-term conditions, and their associated prescriptions, evolve over time and how these relationships between drugs and diseases lead to harm. She is very interested in predicting risk and examining patient journeys to identify at what point the harm of a medicine outweighs the potential for benefit. Lauren has co-developed a machine learning approach to identify disease and prescribing trajectories in people with complex care needs, utilizing existing health records.
