Population health advances from genetic epidemiology in Chinese populations
Associate Professor Iona Millwood
Tuesday, 13 May 2025, 1pm to 2pm
Richard Doll lecture theatre
This seminar will be presented by Iona Millwood, Associate Professor, and Deputy Director of Graduate Studies, Oxford Population Health.
Iona co-leads a Genetic Epidemiology module for the MSc in Global Health Science and Epidemiology. She joined the Clinical Trial Service Unit and Epidemiological Studies Unit (CTSU) in 2009 to work on the China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB), including designing and conducting genomic and multi-omic assays to enhance and develop the CKB resources.
Her current research interests focus on using genetic and molecular epidemiology to understand the aetiology of cardio-metabolic and other chronic diseases, using genetic approaches to identify and evaluate potential drug targets, and investigating the role of infection in cancer risk, and the health effects of alcohol consumption.
This seminar is open to members of the University.
