Population health advances from genetic epidemiology in Chinese populations
This seminar will be presented by Iona Millwood, Associate Professor; Deputy Director of Graduate Studies, Oxford Population Health (Nuffield Department of Population Health, University of Oxford),

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.
