About
I work on large scale genomic studies within a variety of international consortia to unravel the genetic determinants of cardiovascular disease and its risk factors, with a special emphasis on hemostatic factors. I believe that, as genetic epidemiologists, we have the responsibility to not only discover new associations, but to also translate them into meaningful biological and clinical insights. As such I am particularly interested in study designs such as Mendelian randomization, which has the potential to transform our understanding of disease etiology, and genetic risk prediction, which may give us new tools to prevent disease.
