Research Contributions
Genetic variants associated with subjective well-being, depressive symptoms, and neuroticism
Identified genetic variants linked to mental health traits using genome-wide analyses, contributing to the understanding of the genetic architecture of mental health.
Nature Genetics (2016)
Association between alcohol and cardiovascular disease: Mendelian randomisation analysis
Utilized Mendelian randomization to investigate the causal relationship between alcohol consumption and cardiovascular disease, providing insights into the impact of alcohol on heart health.
BMJ (2014)
Maternal and fetal genetic effects on birth weight and their relevance to cardio-metabolic risk factors
Examined the genetic influences on birth weight and their relationship to cardio-metabolic risk factors, contributing to the understanding of early-life determinants of health.
Nature Genetics (2019)
Association of vitamin D status with arterial blood pressure and hypertension risk: a mendelian randomisation study
Conducted a Mendelian randomization study to assess the causal link between vitamin D status, blood pressure, and hypertension risk, informing the role of vitamin D in cardiovascular health.
The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology (2014)
Genome-wide association study in 79,366 European-ancestry individuals informs the genetic architecture of 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels
Conducted a genome-wide association study to identify genetic loci influencing vitamin D levels, advancing the understanding of the genetic basis of vitamin D status.
Nature Communications (2018)
Genome-wide association analysis identifies three new susceptibility loci for childhood body mass index
Identified novel genetic loci associated with childhood body mass index, contributing to the understanding of genetic factors influencing childhood obesity.
Human Molecular Genetics (2015)
Genetic Evidence for Causal Relationships Between Maternal Obesity-Related Traits and Birth Weight
Investigated the causal relationships between maternal obesity-related traits and birth weight using genetic evidence, providing insights into the impact of maternal health on offspring outcomes.
JAMA (2016)
