Ciaran Kelly

Ciaran Kelly is a Lecturer and researcher at the School of Pharmacy and Biomolecular Sciences, Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI). He holds a B.A. in Human Genetics (2014–2018) and a PhD in Complex Trait Genetics (2018–2023), both from Trinity College Dublin. His research focuses on the genetics of complex traits, genomic prediction using machine learning, and mitigating biases in genomic models. He teaches in the MSc in Technologies and Analytics in Precision Medicine and BSc in Advanced Therapeutic Technologies programs, emphasizing genetics, bioinformatics, and clinical trials.

Research interests include bioinformatics, human genomics, and applications of machine learning to address confounding effects in genomic studies. His recent work spans genomic prediction methods in plant genetics (Arabidopsis thaliana) and investigations into sex-specific genetic risk factors for ALS. He is affiliated with RCSI’s Neurological and Psychiatric Disorders and Cancer research clusters.

Advisory and teaching roles include supervision of students in precision medicine and therapeutic technologies. No specific grants or awards are listed in the provided information.
