Research interests
I am a Senior Research Associate in the TeamTimpson group and in the Integrative Cancer Epidemiology Programme (ICEP). I am interested in using Mendelian randomisation and randomised controlled trials to explore the role of circulating proteins in the risk of cancer, in particular multiple myeloma. I am also part of the analytical team working on the deep phenotyping of long COVID. My other research interests include studying the effect of body mass index (BMI) on molecular traits.
