Weihua Meng

Weihua Meng is an Honorary Senior Lecturer in Population Health and Genomics, actively contributing to genetic research through genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Their work focuses on identifying genetic contributors to pain-related conditions such as hip pain, neuropathic pain, and diabetic complications.

• Key Research Areas: Genetics, Genomics, Pain Research, UK Biobank analysis.
• Active Collaborations: Projects with Oxford University, the European Commission, and the Anonymous Trust.

Recent articles highlight their use of GWAS to explore pain mechanisms, including novel genetic variants linked to neck/shoulder pain and widespread pain. Their research leverages large-scale datasets like the UK Biobank and Generation Scotland to advance understanding of chronic pain.
