Systems Genomics

We are a dynamic, transnational research lab with nodes in both the UK and Australia. In the UK, we are part of the BHF Cardiovascular Epidemiology Unit in the Department of Public Health and Primary Care and Heart and Lung Research Institute at the University of Cambridge. In Australia, we are based at the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute in Melbourne, Victoria. 

The lab is also part of multi-institutional collaborations. We are the home of the Cambridge Baker Systems Genomics Initiative, an Australia-UK partnership bringing together data science expertise and population-scale multi-omic and e-health record datasets. We are also part of Health Data Research UK and the NIHR Cambridge Biomedical Research Centre.

The Inouye Lab aims to alleviate the burden of disease using its interdisciplinary strengths in the statistical, computational and biological sciences to leverage the latest genomic and multi-modal technologies.

We focus on research questions in cardiovascular and respiratory disease but maintain broad interests, including:

• • design, application and cataloging of polygenic scores (e.g. coronary artery disease, or PGS Catalog)

  • methods and applications for integrative analysis of genomic and systems-level biomolecular data (e.g. OmicsPred, or GlycA)

  • host interactions of microbiota/pathogens and their role in disease (e.g. asthma)

  • sustainable computational research (e.g. Green Algorithms Project)
