About us

The Molecular Epidemiology (MolEpi) Group is a cross-centre Research Group based primarily in the Usher Institute.

We constitute a group of epidemiologists, geneticists, statisticians and population health specialists interested in:

• exchange of knowledge and ideas,
• collaboration within and outside the group,
• identification and characterisation of environmental and genetic risk factors in humans that are:
  • identified at the molecular level,
  • using interdisciplinary approach,
  • contributing to prediction, aetiology and pathogenesis of complex diseases.

Our main focus is on vascular disease, cancer, diabetes and ageing.
