I am a statistical geneticist. My research focuses on statistical genetic methodology with application to mental health, particularly to understanding the genetic architecture of anxiety and depression disorders.
Grant Montgomery is a genetic epidemiologist with a special interest in the causes, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of common diseases. His work is focussed primarily on endometriosis and melanoma.
I work at the interface of quantitative, statistical, population and human genetics and bioinformatics, aiming to understand and unravel genetic variation in disease susceptibility and endophenotypes in human populations.

The primary aim of my research has been to understand how biological ion channels work. All electrical activities in the nervous system, including communication between cells and influences of hormones and drugs on cell function, are regulated by the opening and closing of ion channels. Thus, understanding how these ion channels operate will ultimately help us find the causes of, and possibly cures for, many neurological, muscular and cardiac disorders.
