Funded Activity Summary

My aim is to identify genes, biological molecules and environmental factors that causally affect risk of osteoporosis and ankylosing spondylitis (a form of autoimmune arthritis) using novel and existing statistical genetics methodologies. My research will advance understanding of the causes of these diseases, identify new opportunities for their treatment, and provide the scientific community with new statistical methods and software to identify factors that causally influence risk of disease.
