Miss Marina Camacho-Sanz

Marina Camacho is a PhD student in Public Health and Primary Care at the University of Cambridge, supported by the Cambridge-AstraZeneca PhD Studentship and prestigious fellowships including the Fundación Rafael del Pino Excellence Fellowship. She holds an MPhil in Population Health Sciences from Cambridge, and completed her MSc in Computational Biomedical Engineering and BSc in Bioinformatics at Barcelona. Marina’s research focuses on trustworthy artificial intelligence for multimorbidity prediction, with a particular emphasis on modelling longitudinal risk factor trajectories—such as BMI and metabolic biomarkers—to improve the prediction and understanding of obesity-related comorbidities. Her work leverages electronic health records, genomics, and multi-omics data from large-scale cohorts, including the UK Biobank. Prior to Cambridge, Marina was an AI researcher at the BCN-AIM Lab, University of Barcelona, contributing to major European research projects (e.g., EarlyCause, LongITools, STAGE) and publishing in high-impact journals. She has co-authored policy reports, advocating for ethical, explainable, and fair AI applications in healthcare.
