BSc, MSc
DPhil Student
Qinfang is a DPhil student in the Clinical Trial Service Unit and Epidemiological Studies Unit (CTSU) working with the Mexico City Prospective Study (MCPS) research group. Her studies are jointly funded by MCPS grant and Oxford Population Health Scholarships. Her DPhil project is to leverage homozygosity to refine genetic basis of complex traits, which is supervised by Dr Jason Torres, Dr Diego Aguilar-Ramírez and Dr Sam Morris.
She completed an MSc in Global Health Science and Epidemiology from the University of Oxford, where her research investigated the relationship between total homozygosity burden and cardiometabolic traits using MCPS data. During her NDPH trainee fellowship, she expanded this work to assess the impact of homozygosity across diverse health phenotypes.
Before joining Oxford Population Health, she obtained a First-Class Honours BSc in Economics and Statistics at University College London.
