Claire Welsh

Claire Welsh is a Researcher affiliated with the School of Cardiovascular & Metabolic Health at the University of Glasgow. Her work focuses on cardiovascular disease epidemiology, biomarker research, and public health applications using large cohorts like UK Biobank. She also contributes to veterinary medicine studies examining equine diseases and antimicrobial practices.

Her research interests include lipoprotein(a) biology, troponin biomarkers, and genetic determinants of cardiovascular outcomes. She investigates risk prediction models for conditions like abdominal aortic aneurysm and stroke. Welsh has pioneered studies on multimorbidity impacts in kidney disease and the role of physical performance metrics (grip strength, walking pace) in cardiovascular risk assessment.

Her publications span 23 articles since 2012, emphasizing cohort studies and biomarker validation. Notable work includes deriving predictive risk scores for cardiovascular and renal outcomes. Welsh collaborates with institutions globally, contributing to both human and veterinary health research.

Her recent work highlights innovative applications of biobank data to understand disease mechanisms and improve clinical decision-making. Current research trends focus on translational epidemiology, integrating genetic, clinical, and behavioral data to address public health challenges.
