Human disease genetics
Genome-wide association and sequencing studies in large clinical and population cohorts, to identify the variants and genes that carry risk for neurological disorders.
Genomics of the brain and its disorders
We study how genetic variation shapes the nervous system — and how that knowledge can be turned into better diagnosis and treatment of neurological disease. Our work spans large-scale human genetics, multi-omics and deep clinical phenotyping.
Research
From genetic variation to clinical insight
Neurological disease is common, heritable and mechanistically poorly understood. We work across four connected themes to close that gap.
Multi-omics integration
Transcriptomics, methylation and proteomics layered onto genetic signals, so that an associated locus becomes a candidate gene, tissue and pathway rather than a coordinate.
Deep clinical phenotyping
Nationwide registries, hospital records and digital measures of cognition and symptom burden — phenotypes precise enough for the genetics to resolve.
Translation
Turning findings into usable tools: risk stratification, biomarkers and drug-target evidence that can be tested in the clinic.
