Focus of research
My research focuses on leveraging large-scale genetic and multi-omic data to understand cardiovascular diseases. Engrained within the Experimental Cardiology Department and the extended group of prof. Connie Bezzina, I study the genetic mechanisms of cardiomyopathies, atrial fibrillation, and various other cardiovascular disorders.
Our group creates and applies advanced statistical approaches to i) perform genetic association analyses to discover risk variants and genes, ii) to create multi-omic risk prediction models, and iii) to dissect the biological mechanisms underlying cardiovascular disorders.
