Research in the Genetic and Molecular Epidemiology Group (GMEG) focuses on bladder and pancreatic cancer. We aim to identify aetiological agents and genetic pathways and apply findings in clinical and public health settings.

We utilise various biomarkers/omics and image-derived data to characterise better exposures, patterns of genetic susceptibility, and cancer outcomes. While multimodal data generation presents a unique opportunity in this context, integrating it poses significant challenges. GMEG explores methodological issues in integrative epidemiologic studies by applying artificial intelligence (AI).

The strategic goals of the Group are to:

  • Identify non-genetic and genetic factors and their interactions associated with cancer development and progression and with its molecular/omics subphenotypes.
  • Develop and apply AI/statistical/informatics tools to model the risk and course of cancer patients by integrating epidemiological, clinical, omics, and image-derived information.
  • Evaluate clinical and public health interventions for cancer control by using newly developed biomarkers and algorithms.
