Biography
I have obtained a PhD in Genetic Epidemiology from the University of Bristol in Feb 2016 (with 4-year full scholarship by the MRC). During my PhD, I have mainly analysed whole-exome sequencing data obtained from consanguineous individuals/families and tried to identify (novel) causal variants of rare human diseases (e.g. Primary ciliary dyskinesia, Papillon-Lefevre syndrome). I have also taken part in many population genetics and common disease genetics projects (GWAS).
Research Interest
Rare genetic diseases Consanguinity & consanguineous/endogamous populations Genetic epidemiology of common respiratory diseases (e.g. chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma)
