I have degrees in Maths from Kings College London and Computing from Imperial College London. After postdoctoral appointments in San Diego, Oxford and Cambridge I was a staff scientist at the MRC from 2002 until joining the LSHTM in 2009.
Affiliation
Teaching
I teach and organise the Genetic Epidemiology in-house module (2448) and the Human Genetic Epidemiology distance learning module (EPM306). I also organise short courses in Genetic Epidemiology for the Bloomsbury Centre for Genetic Epidemiology and Statistics.
Research
I am interested in the genetic epidemiology of common disease, particularly in statistical methodology and computation. My research interests include:
- Association analysis with missing data, especially haplotype analysis in family-based designs
- Analysis of genomewide association scans, especially multiple testing problems
- Multilocus association analysis
- Mendelian randomisation and causal inference
- Software development
I collaborate with several groups within the Non-Communicable Disease Epidemiology Unit at LSHTM, including:
- Breast cancer (Isabel dos Santos Silva)
- Type-2 diabetes (Shah Ebrahim)
- Pre-eclampsia (Juan Pablo Casas)
I also maintain collaborations with external groups in various disease areas:
- Schizophrenia (Pablo Gejman, Chicago and Doug Levinson, Stanford)
- Coronary artery disease (Aroon Hingorani, UCL)
- Osteoporosis (Scott Wilson, Perth)
- Multiple sclerosis (Stephen Sawcer, Cambridge)
For information on my publications and software, including UNPHASED, see my personal web pages.
