Emma Davenport is a Group Leader at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, Cambridge. Her group focuses on how genetics contributes to patient-to-patient heterogeneity within disease and in response to treatment. Emma conducted her postdoctoral research at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School and the Broad Institute. There she developed a statistical framework to investigate how the administration of a drug alters the relationship between genomic variation and gene expression. Emma completed her PhD at the University of Oxford. She investigated the genetic determinants of variation in the human response to common and rare infection, focusing on sepsis and common variable immunodeficiency disorders.
