Pettigrew, Kerry - University of St Andrews

个人简介

I graduated in Biomedical Sciences from University of Ulster in 2003, and obtained my PhD from Queens University Belfast in 2007; my project entailed case-control candidate gene studies to identify genetic variants influencing susceptibility to nephropathy in type 1 diabetes. Since 2007, I have conducted research on alveolar cell damage and growth (University of Birmingham), DNA methylation in acute myeloid leukaemia (Queens University Belfast) and identification of genetic variants predisposing to prostate cancer (National Cancer Institute, US), hypertension (University of Glasgow) and cognitive traits in childhood (University of St Andrews). I also spent some time as Senior Scientific Officer at the Cancer Research UK Genome Variation Laboratory Service (Leeds). In April 2015 I joined the Holden group to perform next-generation sequencing of bacterial isolates from hospital-acquired infections as part of the Molecular Epidemiology workstream of the Scottish Healthcare Associated Infection Prevention Institute (SHAIPI) consortium.
