I'm Lorenzo Fabbri, a cancer epidemiologist focused on the environmental and social determinants of cancer. I'm a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Genetic and Molecular Epidemiology Group at the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) in Madrid, where I work on pancreatic and bladder cancer.

My research combines transparent causal-inference methods with evidence-triangulation strategies to strengthen causal conclusions from observational data. I completed my PhD in Biomedicine at Universitat Pompeu Fabra (2021–2025) within the Childhood and Environment group at ISGlobal, under the supervision of Prof. Martine Vrijheid, working on early-life environmental exposures and neurodevelopment in the HELIX and ATHLETE cohorts.

Alongside my research, I'm pursuing further graduate training in public health (LSHTM and UNED), epidemiological methods (LSHTM), theoretical statistics and probability (OU), health economics (UPF-BSM), economic analysis (UOC), and the social determinants of health (UNED). I also build open-source tools for reproducible research: I lead the etverse ecosystem for transparent causal inference, maintain the CRAN packages forrest and orcidtr and the PyPI package bibaudit, which verifies a bibliography field by field against publisher records, and write paper-template, for writing papers in Markdown.
