    Interests

    My PhD project focuses on unravelling the genetics of cerebral small vessel disease (SVD). Whilst contributing to the 100,000 Genome Project, it aims to integrate genomic analysis and clinical data to assess the downstream implications of genotype-to-phenotype correlations underlying SVD. I am especially interested in investigating the biological consequences of disease-associated variants to provide an avenue for delineating the pathways that promote SVD.
