Rate My Professor Anna Guyatt

Guyatt's research interests encompass Mendelian randomization analyses to investigate causality in multimorbidity, particularly cardiorespiratory traits; epidemiological studies of mental health and wellbeing among healthcare workers and the general population, including during COVID-19; and the use of longitudinal cohorts for genetic and environmental epidemiology. She has co-led major consortium-based genetic association studies and supervises projects on Mendelian randomization and mental health. Key publications include 'New genetic signals for lung function highlight pathways and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease associations across multiple ancestries' (Nature Genetics, 2019), 'Mendelian randomisation of eosinophils and other cell types in relation to lung function and disease' (Thorax, 2023), 'The United Kingdom Research study into Ethnicity And COVID-19 outcomes in Healthcare workers (UK-REACH): protocol for a prospective longitudinal cohort study' (BMJ Open, 2021), and 'Genome-wide analysis of mitochondrial DNA copy number reveals loci implicated in nucleotide metabolism, platelet activation, and megakaryocyte proliferation' (2022). A Fellow of the Higher Education Academy since 2021, she teaches on the MBChB Population and Social Sciences module, though she has pursued an exclusively epidemiological career since medical graduation.
