Professor Karoline Kuchenbaecker
Karoline Kuchenbaecker is Professor of Genetic Epidemiology at University College London. Her group studies the genetics of complex traits in ancestrally diverse populations.
Communications Manager
Leonard Frach
Leo is a PhD student in the CMAP lab at UCL. He studies the intergenerational transmission of risk for externalising behaviours using genetically informed methods.
Early Career Researcher Rep
Dr Eirini Marouli
Dr Marouli is a Senior Lecturer in Computational Biology at the William Harvey Research Institute (QMUL). Her research interests lie in the interface of genetics, bioinformatics and artificial intelligence. She has leading work in international consortia, working on cutting-edge research on the genetics of complex traits and disease, thyroid function and thyroid cancer.
2022 Annual Meeting Organising Committee Member
Dr Valentina Cipriani
Dr Valentina Cipriani is a Senior Lecturer in Statistical Genomics at the William Harvey Research Institute (QMUL). Her research aims to help elucidate the genetic determinants of both common complex and rare Mendelian human diseases by using cutting-edge computational tools in genotyping and sequencing association studies.
Methods Meetings Organisers
Dr Andrea Allegrini
Dr Andrea Allegrini is a postdoctoral researcher in the CMAP lab at UCL. His research focuses on genetically informative methods to investigate developmental psychopathology.
Dr Christopher Rayner
Chris Rayner is a postdoctoral research associate at the Social Genetic & Developmental Psychiatry Centre, KCL. He is researching the role of gene environment interaction on complex traits.
