Andrew Paterson

Andrew is a Senior Scientist in the Program in Genetics and Genome Biology at The Hospital for Sick Children Research Institute in Toront, and also a Professor of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto. His scientific interests concentrate on the genetics of human diseases. Specifically, he is the lead investigator on large study to investigate the genetic determinants of risk for long-term complications of type 1 diabetes, including retinopathy and nephropathy and their quantitative risk factors. He dreams of using the results from genetic studies to improve population health.
