Education and career[edit]

Pigeot was born in 1960, in Wanne-Eickel, a town in northwestern Germany that in 1975 became incorporated into Herne, North Rhine-Westphalia.[3] She earned a diploma in statistics and sociology at the Technical University of Dortmund in 1985.[1] She completed her Ph.D. there in 1989, with the dissertation Schätzer des gemeinsamen Odds Ratios in geschichteten Kontingenztafeln [Estimator of the joint odds ratio in stratified contingency tables] supervised by Ursula Gather.[4] She received a habilitation in 1993.[1]

She became an assistant professor at the Technical University of Dortmund,[1] and then in 1995 a professor at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich.[3] In 2001, Pigeot joined the Bremen Institute for Prevention Research and Social Medicine (BIPS, now the Leibniz Institute for Prevention Research and Epidemiology), at the same time taking a professorship at the University of Bremen,[1] which controlled part of the institute.[5] At the Leibniz Institute, she became head of the Department of Biometry and Data Management. In 2004, she became director of the institute.[1] In 2007, under her directorship, the separated parts of the institute were rejoined, and in 2012 it spun off from the university to become a separate non-profit institution within the Leibniz Association.[5]
