Research interests
I am a molecular and computational geneticist with a particular interest in neurodevelopment and neurodegeneration. My current research within the Oxford BRC focuses upon the identification of genetic variants that contribute to a risk of Parkinson’s Disease. There is no one genetic cause of Parkinson’s, instead different people carry different combinations of genetic variations that change their risk of developing this disease over time. By comparing genetic sequences between individuals affected by this disease, I aim to identify genetic variations that play a role in this risk.
