Network-based predictive modelling of cardiovascular disease risk

University of Liverpool Institute of Systems, Molecular and Integrative Biology

The risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is orchestrated by multiple factors. QRISK models (currently QRISK3) have been used in the UK to estimate CVD risk within the next 10 years for individuals without CVD. Read more

Data driven approaches for nonlinear inverse problems

University of Birmingham School of Mathematics

The project aims to develop new techniques for solving complex inverse problems that arise in various scientific fields. In many real-world applications, such as medical imaging, geophysics, and material science, we often seek to recover the hidden properties of a system from indirect and noisy measurements. Read more

Exploring synergies between statistical ecology and statistical genomics

University of St Andrews School of Mathematics and Statistics

Research Group: Division of Statistics

While superficially different, these two areas of research share several questions in common (How many species? How many of each species? How are the species distributed spatially? How should we sample?) that differ fundamentally only in whether the species in question are flora and fauna or nucleic acids and proteins. Read more

Propagation of uncertainty for signatures of mutational processes

University of St Andrews School of Mathematics and Statistics

Research Group: Division of Statistics

There is a trend, especially in cancer research, to i) take a set of DNA mutations ii) cross-categorize them by patient and mutational characteristic and iii) decompose the resulting counts matrix into two sets of vectors – one set representing the mutational impact of specific mutagens and one set representing the exposure of individuals to those mutagens.
