Jane Golding
Jane Golding (22 September 1939 - ) is a British epidemiologist, and founder of the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) a birth cohort study that produced a highly detailed dataset of the children of the 90s that recorded biological, psychological, social and medical information of this multigenerational group. The dataset is used by researchers across the world, and it includes interviews, questionnaires and biological samples for a period of over 20 years since the children were born. Golding's decision on what data was useful to collect lead to it being used for genetic and epigenetic research worldwide.

In 2012 she was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire for her setting up and developing the cohort.
