There are two themes of research:
- Methodology development: I am interested in developing statistical methods to understand the molecular architecture (DNA, RNA, proteomics, metabolomics) of health outcomes (disease, treatment responses, comorbidity). In statistical terminology, I work on dimension reduction, longitudinal analysis, efficient inference methods, and causal inference.
- Translational research: We are collaborating with the NHS to develop tools and resources for computing risk scores using polygenic models, protein/metabolite levels, and e-health records. We work closely with clinical teams to investigate potential applications including clinical trials, treatment response prediction, and risk stratification.
If you are interested in working with us, check the opportunities page! Currently there are fully funded PhD positions at Cambridge DPT-MR. If you are interesting in working with me through the DPT-MR program, you should apply to the program directly (we are not involved in the admission process) and choose to do a rotation with us (— choosing project and group is a really important decision and the best way to make informed decision is trying it out–).
