Dr Ana Viñuela is group leader and lecturer at the University of Dundee working on Data Science for Health. Her research aims to understand the changes at a molecular level that allow some individuals to remain healthy with age, while others develop age-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes (T2D). Dr Viñuela’s group uses computational methods to combine molecular phenotypes from sequencing and high-throughput methods with statistical genetics and machine learning methods for their research.
Ana joined SRUK/CERU in 2012 as a funding member and while she was living in London and conducting postdoctoral research at the King’s College University. She was part of the early stages of the SRUK/CERU online department, member of the Science Policy committee and interim Director of the London Constituency (2014). After her period in London, she moved to Geneva, Switzerland, for a postdoctoral research position. Back to the UK, she re-joined the active members of SRUK/CERU as the director of the newly formed North East Constituency. Now as part of the Scottish constituency she hopes to continue contributing to SRUK/CERU for many more years.
