Profile
I am a PhD student on the Wellcome Trust Health Data in Practice programme. My project seeks to understand the genetic architecture of type 2 diabetes, focusing on South Asian ancestry. This will be achieved by using data from Genes & Health, UK Biobank and the Madras Diabetes Research Foundation. I apply genetic epidemiology methods to identify genetic variants associated with type 2 diabetes traits.
I am supervised by Dr Moneeza Siddiqui, Professor Sarah Finer, Professor Rohini Mathur, Dr Alice Williamson and Dr RM Anjana.
Prior to joining the programme, I completed my MSc in Bioinformatics and BSc in Biology.
