Research

I focus on statistical methods for common and rare copy number variant analysis. Currently I am exploring rare variant and pathway analysis methods for use with SNP chip genotype data, with application to cardiovascular disease.

I investigate inflammation related genes and pathways and their effects on cardiovascular disease risk in collaboration with Drs Anders Malarstig and Nadeem Sarwar at Pfizer.
