My research focuses on the environmental and molecular epidemiology of chronic diseases, particularly lung cancer. My team is currently working on identifying novel risk factors and biomarkers for lung cancer, and developing risk prediction models to improve risk stratification and inform risk-based screening. My work also extends to understanding the role of environmental exposures in healthy ageing. I am currently leading several projects in international consortia such as the Consortium of Metabolomics Studies (COMETS) and the Asia Cohort Consortium (ACC).
