Corey Giles
Corey Giles is an early career research scientist at the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute (Melbourne, Australia). His passion and research interests lie in understanding the mechanisms through which lipid metabolism affects chronic diseases – including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and Alzheimer’s disease. His career goals are to identify the metabolic pathways that play a causal role in disease aetiology. Utilising high-throughput lipidomics, Corey aims to profile tens of thousands of human plasma samples from a broad range of population- and clinical-cohorts. Integrating lipidomic data with existing genomic resources opens new avenues for defining lipid species and pathways causally associated with disease aetiology and progression. Supported by a dedicated and diverse research team – led by Professor Peter Meikle – Corey is developing and applying novel statistical techniques to a fast-growing collection of human lipidomes.
