Research description

My research focuses on the statistical analyses of BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutation carriers, primarily through data obtained by the Consortium of Investigators of Modifiers of BRCA1/2 (CIMBA) consortium. These individuals are at increased risk of breast cancer and ovarian cancer in women, and breast cancer and prostate cancer in men. I am particularly interested in genome-wide association analyses, fine-mapping, polygenic risk score, gene-based and pathway analyses.
