Project title
Identifying and characterising serum metabolites associated with migraine risk
Supervisory Team
Principal Supervisor: Professor Dale Nyholt
Associate Supervisor(s): Professor Lyn Griffiths
Project description
Hamzeh aims to investigate the genetic overlap and causality between blood/urine metabolites/proteins and migraine utilising up to 8,000 genome-wide association summary statistics. His research has identified the metabolome/proteome and medically relevant disorders underlying migraine susceptibility and causation, providing a holistic overview of migraine pathophysiology.
Short Biography
