Prof. Moodley is an epidemiologist, researcher and convenor of the Masters in Cancer Science Program at Stellenbosch University, Cape Town, South Africa. He has shown a strong commitment to addressing public health problems in South Africa, including the increasing burden of non-communicable diseases such as cancers. He has a sustained track record of epidemiological research which broadly spans the fields of noncommunicable disease, communicable disease, and health systems. Much of his training and research experience in epidemiology and statistics was gained during his PhD studies, which produced 5 published manuscripts, as well as an extended postdoctoral training period. His current research, for which he received a US National Institutes of Health funding, is focused on the receipt of substandard oncology care in cancer patients, more specifically colorectal cancer patients. The research encompasses quantitative surveys, qualitative interviews, and machine learning analyses to develop a risk model for predicting failure to engage in oncology care amongst colorectal cancer patients from KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa. Prof. Moodley has been a principal investigator on several self-initiated research studies. He also had a leadership role (as a site principal investigator) on an international, multicenter surgical oncology study (The GlobalSurg-2 Study).
