Clare Bambra is a British social scientist. As an expert in public health she studies the social, economic, and political causes of health inequalities. The coronavirus pandemic attracted public interest in her work; she showed how more marginalised groups, particularly in deprived areas and in the north of England, were affected by the pandemic. Her research projects are aimed at developing effective strategies to improve health and reduce inequalities. She is also involved in putting scientific findings to practical and policy use.
