Dr Ghazaleh Dashti
Dr S Ghazaleh Dashti is a Senior Research Fellow within the Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics Unit (CEBU) at MCRI and the University of Melbourne. Her primary areas of research interest are developing, evaluating, and applying methods to better design and analyse observational studies addressing questions that would inform public health and clinical practice decision-making. Specifically, her research, currently supported by an NHMCR Investigator Grant (2024-2028) and previously by an MCRI Stimulus Award (2022-2023), focuses on causal inference and missing data methods. The substantive areas to which she contributes include cancer, mental health, adolescent health, intergenerational trauma, and family violence.
Ghazaleh has worked with the Colorectal Cancer Unit (2014-2017) and the Australian National Development Index Project (2018) at the University of Melbourne. Between 2014 and 2019, she also held various teaching roles at the Melbourne School of Population and Global Health. She was awarded a Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree from Shahid Beheshti University in Iran in 2011 and a Master of Public Health from The University of Melbourne in 2015. She completed her PhD at the University of Melbourne in 2020, before joining Professor Margarita Moreno-Betancur's Causal Inference team within MCRI's CEBU as a VicBiostat postdoc.
