Research and scholarship
ISTM Research theme: Therapeutics
Research Interests:
- Study of how polymorphic genes interact with environmental factors such as ultraviolet radiation to influence susceptibility and outcome in multiple sclerosis, basal cell carcinoma and prostate cancer.
- Selection of candidate genes, identification of allelic variants and construction of haplotypes. Use of advanced statistics to identify genetic and environmental influences on risk in patient subgroups.
- Work based on multispeciality teams of biochemists, clinicians and statisticians.
