Dr. Peter Taylor
Cardiff University, Cardiff
Peter N Taylor BSc, MBChB, MSc is a Senior Clinical lecturer and Consultant Physician specialising in endocrinology and epidemiology at Cardiff University and the University Hospital of Wales. He received a MRC scholarship to undertake a masters’ degree in epidemiology at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and is now completing his PhD in thyroid epidemiology under Professor Colin Dayan.
His research has focused on the effects of common variation in thyroid status as well as thyroid hormone prescribing. In this work, he has also published the first whole genome sequence study to identify rarer variants associated with thyroid function and published the first Mendelian Randomization in thyroidology to better clarify the relationship between thyroid hormone and body composition. His other interest is clinical trials in thyroidology being heavily involved in the CIRTED and CATS studies. He has received awards at both national and international conferences for his work.
