Prediction of gestational syndromes - Dr Julia Zollner

Exploring translational applications of OMICS technologies for the early detection and personalised management of women with gestational syndromes. Current focus is on diverse populations using polygenic methods.

Academic Vision

I am interested in the translational applications of OMICS technologies for the early detection and personalised management of women with gestational syndromes. I am interested in bridging the gap of ethnic disparity in genomic medicine.

I collaborate widely across London with other researcher and work closely with a diverse-ancestry genetic cohort called Genes & Health based at QMUL. I have active research projects investigating the genetic cause of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, gestational diabetes and gestational length.

My expertise lies both in common and rare variant analysis of large genetic datasets. I am open to collaborations across a wide range of interdisciplinary research fields to improve both maternal and fetal outcomes.
