Sex in Science
This is a guest blog post by Prof. Eleftheria Zeggini. Ele trained in Biochemistry (BSc) and Immunogenetics (PhD) in Manchester, UK, before undertaking a post doc and subsequently a Wellcome Trust Research Career Development Fellowship in Oxford. She joined the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in Hinxton, UK, and is on the Human Genetics Faculty. Ele’s scientific interests focus on the genetics of complex traits, primarily cardiometabolic and musculoskeletal phenotypes, and on addressing relevant statistical genetics issues. She also leads the Wellcome Genome Campus-wide Sex in Science programme (https://www.sanger.ac.uk/workstudy/sexinscience/), which engages a wide base of scientists and drives policy and practice change.
