Profile

Research Interest:

To develop statistical methods and to innovatively apply statistical methods to the understanding to the genetic basis of human disease. In particular to: (a) robustly identify genomic drivers of oral cancer and obtain deep understanding of the biological underpinnings of oral cancer, with the goal providing precision genomic signatures of prediction and novel therapy; and (b) relate population genomic diversity, in conjunction with family and/or case-control studies, to various facets of common disease, e.g., splitting heritability of a disease to components of common genomic variation, rare genomic variation and environmental factors; response to drugs and vaccines, etc.

Research

Gaining a deeper understanding of the relative roles of common and rare variants incommon disease

The emerging picture of common disease genetics is that the majority of heritability is made up of common, largely non-coding variation. However, given our current knowledge of genome biology and the available tools for studying gene function, rare coding variants can make a larger contribution to our biological insight than suggested by the proportion of heritability explained. A set of methods under development have begun to extend these ideas to explore disease biology, by using the full information provided by GWA studies – that is, the genome-wide effect-size vector. In particular, one tests whether a gene set of interest – such as the genes expressed in a particular tissue or cellular process – is relevant to a disease by studying whether it is correlated with the genome-wide effect-size vector. With the ongoing development of a Human Cell Atlas, it should be possible to extend these studies to implicate not just tissues but individual cell types. This will help connect disease-associated genes to specific cell types and mechanisms active in those cell types. I am focusing on this direction of research.

Revising estimates of polygenic risk scores by linking to ancestry-associated genomic spectra

For an individual’s polygenic risk scores of common diseases to have maximal accuracy and precision, it should be derived from data on GWA studies conducted on populations with the appropriate ancestry. A serious issue is that the vast majority of GWA studies has been conducted in European-derived populations, with the consequence that polygenic risk scores currently provide poorer predictors for other groups. It is important that this problem be addressed rapidly. Overcoming this population bias is essential to make polygenic risk scores useful for prediction on individual risks to common diseases. This is another area of my current research.

Integrating multi-omics data to identify perturbations from precancer to cancer and study dynamics of cell-type proportions using oral cancer as an exemplar

In the context of oral cancer, we have been generating multiple types of omics data, from which we identify a different types of variants at the genome-wide scale (that include single nucleotide, copy number, structural and epigenomic) and also dysregulation of gene expression using RNA_sequencing data. This, of course, involves analysis of both tumour and normal tissues. The data of these disparate types need to be integrated, because for example both DNA variants and gene-promoter variants can affect gene expression. Recently, we have carried out an integrative analysis of epigenomic and transcriptomic data to deduce that immunotherapy may be effective in the treatment of oral cancer. I wish to continue work in this direction using similar methodologies to gain robust insights into the process of carcinogenesis.
