Dr Paul Doody
Paul Doody joined TILDA in October 2019 as a Postdoctoral Health Research Assistant, primarily on a project examining the association between lifetime exposure to fluoridated water, and multi-dimensional health outcomes in the general population.
Prior to joining TILDA, Paul worked as a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Early Stage Research Fellow at the University of Birmingham (United Kingdom) for three years. During this time Paul undertook his PhD on the feasibility and impact of specially adapted exercise interventions, aimed at improving the multi-dimensional health and functional capacity of frail geriatric hospital inpatients and care home residents.
Paul’s core research interests are in the fields of clinical exercise physiology, disease and illness prevention and rehabilitation, health economics, and physical activity psychology. Paul holds a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc. Hons) in Sport Science and Health from Dublin City University, where he graduated in 2015 with a first-class honours (1.1).
