DrRicardo Segurado

Ricardo's research interests are in statistical genetics, particularly the influence of non-additive effects of multiple genes on risk for disease, and methodology for rare disease gene-mapping. He has an interest in the properties of heritability estimates in unrelated, family, and twin samples.

He is also interested in statistical approaches for inference of longitudinal developmental patterns, particularly during pregnancy, and in childhood. He maintains an interest in meta-analysis methods, and in issues around the design and analysis of randomised controlled trials.

He is also interest in imputation and otherwise handling missing data appropriately - in epidemiology, clinical trials, and in genome-wide association studies.

Contacts are welcome from students or researchers interested in pursuing research in any of these areas.
