Associate Professor Preeyaporn Srasuebkul is a health data scientist and senior biostatistician dedicated to using large-scale linked administrative and clinical data to generate impactful, data-driven evidence. Her primary goal is to illuminate and address health inequalities, ultimately informing positive changes in policy and practice for vulnerable populations.

A/Prof Srasuebkul applies advanced statistical methodologies to complex datasets (such as PBS, MBS, hospital, justice, and disability service data). She has established a strong track record in researching neurodevelopmental disabilities, providing crucial insights into health outcomes, service utilisation, and co-occurring mental health conditions within this group. Her work also extends to understanding medication use patterns and their real-world impacts.

As the Research and Data Lead for the National Centre of Excellence in Intellectual Disability Health (NCEIDH), A/Prof Srasuebkul has spearheaded impactful research on the health and well-being of people with intellectual disability. Her highly influential work in this area includes pioneering studies on mortality patterns and causes of death, which are among her most cited and have been repeatedly used as critical evidence by the Disability Royal Commission. This research, alongside her data-driven studies on the experiences of individuals with intellectual disability within the criminal justice system (examining factors such as re-incarceration and the role of support services), underscores her deep commitment to leveraging data expertise to address profound health disparities, uncover critical knowledge gaps, and contribute to improved outcomes and equitable service provision for this often underserved population.

Her expertise encompasses sophisticated data management, advanced statistical analysis, and the translation of complex research findings into actionable knowledge for clinicians, policymakers, and advocacy groups working across the disability, health, and justice sectors.
