Professor Cicely Marston

Official Fellow

Professor of Public Health

Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences

PhD, MSc London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine; BA(Hons), Oxon

I have over 25 years of experience of interdisciplinary research in health, working across sectors to understand complex problems, and developing innovative research methods to inform interventions and improve evaluations, often in sexual and reproductive health. I take a collaborative leadership approach, and my research is underpinned and driven by a commitment to health equity.

Until 2025, I was Professor of Public Health at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, where I founded and led the DEPTH research group. Our programme of work spanned more than a decade, and brought together scholarship centered on community participation in health in many countries, across different areas of health equity.
