Profile: Dr Walters was a Research Fellow at the University of Leeds from 2002 to 2004, and a Lecturer in Mathematical Modelling and Genetic Epidemiology in the University of ��«Ӱҵ Medical School until joining the Department of Probability and Statistics in 2009.

Research interests: My research interests are in the application and development of (mostly Bayesian) statistical methods to identify disease-causing DNA variants in population-based studies. I am interested in finding coherent ways of incorporating functional genomic information into priors to aid the detection of these causal variants. I have also recently become interested in developing statistical approaches to determine essential bacterial genes using transposon insertion data (next generation sequencing). One such approach uses modified Hidden-Markov models.
