Omid Alavijeh serves as an NIHR Clinical Lecturer in Renal Medicine at University College London, based at the Centre for Genetics and Genomics within the UCL Institute for Kidney and Bladder Health. He concurrently holds a visiting scientist position with Professor Turajlic's research group at The Francis Crick Institute.
His research specializes in rare and inherited kidney disorders, with primary focus on cystic kidney diseases including autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Employing computational genomics approaches, he investigates how both inherited (germline) and acquired (somatic) genetic mutations drive heterogeneous clinical outcomes in patients, aiming to unravel molecular mechanisms behind disease progression variability.
