Research interests
My research interests are biostatistics and understanding the genetic background of polygenic and complex traits/diseases, genetic epidemiology and genomic risk prediction.
Research impacts
Nasir has over 15 years of experience in statiatical (quantitative) genetic research, and has contributed to more than 60 scientific papers.Nasir’s research has contributed to improving understanding of the genetic background of complex traits and has resulted to identifying novel genetic variants associated with complex traits and diseases with application in risk prediction. He has contributed in development of comercialized high-density arrays (chips) for large-scale, cost-effective genotyping.
