Aetiology & epidemiology of lacunar stroke/cerebral small vessel disease

I am an epidemiologist with a main interest in dissecting the causes and consequences of cerebral small vessel disease and stroke using genetic and classical epidemiological techniques.

I am based in the Stroke Research Group of Professor Hugh Markus, University of Cambridge, Department of Clinical Neurosciences.

Furthermore I am a visiting member of the Chris Wallace group, University of Cambridge, Department of Medicine, who develop and apply statistical genomic methods to understand the genes, cells and pathways involved in complex diseases.
