4-year PhD Studentship: Harnessing genetics of DNA methylation to understand molecular mechanisms underlying human traits and diseases.
GWAS studies have discovered many genetic associations for traits and diseases, but the functional consequences of these variants remain elusive. Read more
Using genetics to uncover clusters of commonly occurring comorbidities in patients with chronic inflammatory diseases
It is well established that people with chronic inflammatory diseases suffer from an increased risk of developing additional chronic diseases (comorbidity) which leads to a lower quality of life and early mortality. Read more
Transferability of genetic risk scores for complex human diseases across diverse population groups
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been extremely successful in identifying DNA variants that are associated with a wide range of complex human traits and common diseases. Read more
The genetics of flowering in raspberry and blackberry (Rubus) - what makes a primocane?
Suzanne Litthauer, Timo Hytonen (NIAB EMR); Jim Dunwell (University of Reading). Alteration in flowering habit has been one of the most significant innovations in many soft fruit crops, extending the season and allowing the most consistent volumes of supply. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Using genetics to understand confounding: Applying Mendelian randomization and other causal inference techniques to strengthen causal inference in epidemiology
Many apparently robust observational findings in medical research have been refuted by randomized controlled trials (RCTs), largely because common analysis methods are sensitive to unmeasured confounding. Read more
Genetics of inherited cardiovascular disease
My group uses molecular genetic analysis of cardiovascular disease as a tool to define disease mechanisms and therapeutic targets. Read more
Functional coronary artery disease genetics - defining the function of new causal atherosclerosis genes from CAD GWAS loci using in vitro and in vivo models
Despite significant advancements in its treatment coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death in both the UK and world-wide, accounting for over 66,000 deaths in the UK each year. Read more
Landscape ecology and genetics of Bornean species inhabiting a fragmented landscape
The island of Borneo has some of the oldest rainforests in the world, however, that environment has become threatened by logging and its conversion to agriculture over the last 50-100 years. Read more
