Charlotte K Bainomugisa

Email:	This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Expert Profile:	Charlotte is a statistical genetics epidemiologist with a background in biomedical laboratory science. She has experience in environmental and public health research. For her PhD project, she investigated the role of genetics and epigenetics in co-morbidity of Post-Traumatic Stress and Migraine disorders. Charlotte’s study aimed at using an integrative genomics approach and various statistical methods to investigate biological mechanisms and molecular pathways underlying the development and progression of PTSD migraine comorbidity. She is using genomics data from various databases with genotypes, DNA methylation and gene expression data to identify the genes, shared risk factors both genetic and environmental including stress, hormones and trauma; and determine the direction of this association. Defining the exact nature of PTSD migraine comorbidity and the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying this association can be used as a target in clinical and therapeutic management of both disorders.
