Biography

Renee Carey is a Senior Research Fellow working in the field of cancer epidemiology since 2011. Her research focuses on various aspects of occupational cancer epidemiology, including future burden assessments of cancer due to occupational and lifestyle exposures, as well as the prevalence of such exposures and work hazards affecting migrant workers. Dr. Carey has secured funding as the chief investigator for six grants totaling $2 million, which are related to her expertise in estimating the prevalence of exposure and calculating the burden of disease due to occupational lifestyle factors. She collaborates with trade unions, the Australian Institute of Occupational Hygienists, Cancer Councils, and the Lung Foundation to raise awareness about occupational exposures, particularly silica exposure, and her work has been instrumental in advocating for a ban on engineered stone. Furthermore, Dr. Carey’s expertise aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, especially those aimed at ensuring safe and productive work environments.
