His work involves applying statistical, epidemiological, computational, and genetic tools to understand associations of exposures with chronic diseases. His research aims to drive improvements in population health by identifying novel treatment targets and implementing precision strategies for primary and secondary prevention of major disease outcomes such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes and cancer.

He co-leads the Statistical Group in the China Kadoorie Biobank and oversees a portfolio of research related to ageing, cardiovascular, respiratory, and lifestyle factors. He is responsible for ensuring that the study design methodology is robust, appropriate and deliverable as well as for securing grant income as the statistical lead.
