Biography

Dr Julia El-Sayed Moustafa is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Computational Genomics at the Department of Twin Research and Genetic Epidemiology, King’s College London, United Kingdom.

With a background in both wet labwork as well as statistical genetics and bioinformatics, her research interests lie in understanding the interplay between genetic and environmental influences on multi-omics, and how longitudinal multi-omic changes contribute to ageing and cardiometabolic disease.

Key areas of interest include investigation of the genetic and environmental factors influencing gene expression in population cohorts through multi-tissue cis- and trans-eQTL analyses, and cross-sectional and longitudinal integration of gene expression, proteomics, metabolomics and complex traits, with a special interest in the relationship between the adipose tissue multi-ome and ageing, insulin resistance, and cardiometabolic traits.
