Euan A. Ashley

Roger and Joelle Burnell Professor of Genomics and Precision Health, Arthur L. Bloomfield Professor of Medicine and Professor of Genetics, of Biomedical Data Science and, by courtesy, of Pathology
Clinical Focus
Cardiology, Inherited cardiovascular disease, Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, Cardiomyopathy, Dilated, Sports Cardiology, Heart Failure, Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia, Left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy, Genomic medicine, Undiagnosed disease
Research Interests
The Ashley lab is focused on precision medicine. We develop methods for the interpretation of whole genome sequencing data to improve the diagnosis of genetic disease and to personalize the practice of medicine. At the wet bench, we take advantage of cell systems, transgenic models and microsurgical models of disease to prove causality in biological pathways and find targets for therapeutic development.

Anna L Gloyn

Professor of Pediatrics (Endocrinology) and of Genetics
Research Interests
Anna's current research projects are focused on the translation of genetic association signals for type 2 diabetes and glycaemic traits into cellular and molecular mechanisms for beta-cell dysfunction and diabetes. Her group uses a variety of complementary approaches, including human genetics, functional genomics, physiology and islet-biology to dissect out the molecular mechanisms driving disease pathogenesis.
