Biography
I completed my undergraduate studies in Biology at Lancaster University, followed by an MPhil in Population Health Sciences at the University of Cambridge, where I specialised in Genetic Epidemiology. My postgraduate research project utilised proteomic and genomic data within colocalisation frameworks to explain mechanisms by which variants regulate plasma proteins implicated in cardiovascular disease. My research interests focus on understanding how genetic and environmental factors interact in the development of non-communicable diseases and translating these findings into clinical applications. I am currently working as a Research Assistant at the Centre for Cancer Genetic Epidemiology (University of Cambridge), where I study the genetic correlation between benign diseases or precursor conditions and cancer risk to improve risk prediction models. My work integrates large-scale phenotype and genetic datasets, applying advanced statistical methods to enhance the interpretability of genome-wide association studies (GWAS). These efforts reflect my dedication to refining predictive, diagnostic, and therapeutic strategies which are personalised to each patient’s genetic architecture.
