Dr Milla Kibble

Milla Kibble is the Research Facilitator at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) at the University of Cambridge. She received her PhD in high dimensional convex geometry and probability theory (Pure Mathematics) from UCL in 2000, and subsequently changed research focus to developing and employing analytics techniques to gain actionable information from large datasets. Her research application area has primarily been in biomedicine and healthcare, with work including probability and graph theory applications to biological data; network pharmacology approaches to provide systems-level insights into the mechanisms of action of natural products; and using multiple data types from monozygotic twins to gain insights into the role of epigenetic effects in obesity. During her MRC funded secondment to the COVID-19 Longitudinal Health and Wellbeing National Core Study, Milla is working with Professor Nic Timpson at the University of Bristol and Dr Claire Steves at KCL to investigate the biological and societal factors behind differential response to COVID-19 vaccination and infection.
