Biography

Chris Noone is a post-doctoral researcher with the MEDAL research group which is led by Dr. Gerry Molloy. I am working on an IRC funded research project which aims to produce two network meta-analyses comparing specific behavioural approaches to reducing blood pressure to pharmacological approaches. We will also organise training in network meta-analysis for social scientists and health researchers as part of this project. Chris recently completed a PhD at NUI Galway focused on critically analysing claims which have been made regarding the effect of mindfulness on thinking skills. Prior to this Chris had completed a MSc in applied neuroscience at Leiden University and a BA in psychology at NUI Galway. He has contributed research on a wide range of topics broadly related to wellbeing including the cognitive effects of mindfulness, citizen consultation for the design of wellbeing measures, financial stress in dairy farmers and sexual counselling for patients in cardiac rehabilitation.
Chris is Chair of the Research and Policy Sub-Committee of the National LGBT Federation. He has also contributed to the Yes Equality campaign, to the development of the first LGBT Staff Network at the National University of Ireland, Galway and is a member of the administration group for Bi+ Ireland. He hopes to establish a research group focused on LGBT health and wellbeing in Ireland in the future.
