B.S.Med, MSc, DPhil


Senior Researcher in Pharmacoepidemiology and Pharmacogenomics

Real-World Study & Translational Science

Converging Statistical, Biological, and Clinical Evidence

A central thread of my work is moving from association to clinical translation: using pharmacogenomics to inform safer, more personalised prescribing; analysing real-world data mapped to common data models to support regulatory science; and drawing on large biobanks such as Our Future Health and UK Biobank to identify biomarkers and genetic determinants of aging-related and untreatable diseases. My aim is to shorten the distance between evidence generation and its application at the bedside and in policy.

Prior to my role at NDORMS, I was a Statistical Programming Training Fellow (2018–2019) at the Oxford Big Data Institute, where I gained systematic training in developing well-organised analytic pipelines for large-scale research initiatives. I received my medical training at Shandong University (Bachelor, 2015), studied Epidemiology and Biostatistics at Peking University (MSc, 2018), and completed my DPhil in Clinical Epidemiology at the University of Oxford (2023).
