Alumni

Hi, I am Haojie Lu, a Ph.D. student majoring in Genetics and Epidemiology. I have received formal training in Bioinformatics (both BSc and MSc). Previously I worked on understanding the genetic architecture of human facial phenotypes and face prediction using the genetic data.

I started my Ph.D. in 2021, focusing on the genetics, biological pathways, and medication effects underlying the influence of cardiovascular diseases and skeletal traits. My projects primarily focus on multi-omics including genomics and proteomics. On one hand, I am trying to understand the causes and consequences of coronary artery calcification and skeletal phenotypes including bone mineral density, and trabecular bone score. On the other hand, I am also trying to find the link between these phenotypes. My projects utilized data from existing cohorts, including the Rotterdam Study, Generation R, Framingham Heart Study, UKBB, etc.
