臺大公共衛生學院將於10月20日(五)舉辦「淬鍊三十‧公衛典範：臺大公衛學院三十週年院慶暨國際學術研討會」，上午為拱北紀念講座，下午國際研討會。

1. 拱北講座講者：George Davey Smith (Director, MRC Integrative Epidemiology Unit, Bristol Medical School, University of Bristol, Bristol, UK)

Davey Smith教授是一位英國的臨床流行病學家，英國倫敦皇家學會院士。以社會流行病學、生命歷程流行病學以及遺傳流行病學等方面的研究享譽國際。Davey Smith教授在20年前提出了孟德爾隨機化(Mendelian Randomisation)的方法，來校正觀察性研究裡干擾變數對於危險因子和疾病風險之間關係的影響。這一個以基因作為工具變數的想法，革命性的改變當代流行病學研究的方向，解決許多長久以來流行病學研究上的爭議。有了孟德爾隨機化這個方法，利用觀察性研究探討因果關係，不再只是一個夢想，而因果關係也不再是隨機分派臨床試驗的專利。

Davey Smith教授目前擔任英國布里斯托大學Integrative Epidemiology Unit的Director。IEU成立於2013年，是由英國政府Medical Research Council資助成立，今年再度得到MRC超過1100萬英鎊的經費，進行下一個5年的研究計畫。Davey Smith教授已經發表超過2600篇論文，引用次數超過30萬次。除了流行病學研究之外，他也長期關注健康不平等，以及開放資料(Open Data)和開放科學(Open Science)。

Professor George Davey Smith is a clinical epidemiologist who has focused on methods for improving causal inference in studies of disease aetiology and disease prevention. His work has involved early implementation of ‘negative controls’ in epidemiological studies, the use of cross-context comparisons, sensitivity analyses, unobtrusive data collection methods and randomized trials in thought-to-be difficult situations. He pioneered the use of germline genetic variants for investigating modifiable causes of disease (‘Mendelian randomization’), developed several extensions of the basic method, and contributed to its application in many settings. He is an advocate of the pre-specified application of a range of methods, with different structures of potential biases, to the same question (‘triangulation’), as the key approach to strengthening causal inference. Throughout his career he has promoted increasing the accessibility of data, and implemented this in studies he has led, including the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and their Children (ALSPAC).
