Senior🎓
Top SchoolLuke Pilling is a research fellow and genetic epidemiologist at the University of Exeter with 11 years’ experience analyzing large population cohorts, including UK Biobank, to uncover genetic drivers of healthy ageing and multimorbidity. He combines deep expertise in statistics, bioinformatics and R with hands-on work in transcriptomic and epigenetic analyses across international collaborations (including the NIA and CHARGE consortium). His work spans molecular to population scales, pairing genomic signals with medical records to illuminate mechanisms of sarcopenia, inflammation and cognitive decline. A prolific researcher in academic teams like AGEexeter and GEMINI, he favors reproducible data science workflows and open code—his GitHub surfaces ongoing projects that mirror his tea-loving maxim for datasets as endless as a good brew.
