Evans Group - Research

Our current research projects focus on:

1. Investigating the developmental origins of health and disease using genetics
2. The genetics of osteoporosis
3. Identifying pharmacological targets for osteoporosis intervention
4. The genetic and genomic basis of septic shock
5. Developing statistical methods for Mendelian randomization
6. Using genetics to investigate the health impacts of diet
