Panos Deloukas is a world leader in complex trait genetics focused upon elucidating the genetic basis of cardio-metabolic traits. He leads or co-leads many global consortia in common disease genetics (CARDIoGRAMplusC4D, GLGC, GIANT) having identified many of the loci underpinning lipid levels and coronary disease.
At the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (1994-2013) he made major contributions to the Human Genome Project and the International HapMap project. He was a founder member of the Wellcome Trust Case-Control Consortium. He has authored over 430 publications (H-index 130) and has been amongst the world's top 1% of most highly cited researchers in Molecular Biology & Genetics continuously since 2002.
UK Biobank was established to improve understanding of the causes of common diseases including CAD and recruited 502,713 (94% of self-reported European ancestry) individuals aged 40-69 between 2005 and 2010.
