Research

She is Professor of Genetic Epidemiology at the Erasmus University Medical School Rotterdam in the Netherlands.[3] She is also Professor of Epidemiology at Nuffield Department of Population Health, and part of the Oxford Big Data Institute.[3] Her research interests are in interactions between genes, and between genes and the environment.[3] van Duijn leads or is part of a number of large epidemiological studies. With Masud Husain, she co-leads Dementia Research Oxford, a consortium aimed at identifying treatments and prevention for dementia.[4] She is also involved in international consortia such as CHARGE (Cohorts for Heart & Aging Research in Genome Epidemiology), IGAP (International Genetics of Alzheimer Disease Project (IGAP) and EADB (European Alzheimer Disease Biobank).[5]

Van Duijn is on the steering committee of the Oxford British Heart Foundation (BHF) Center of Excellence.[5] In November 2024 van Duijn was announced as the new research director of Brain Health, a consortium which aims “to lead a UK-wide data and infrastructure approach dedicated to brain health research”.[6]
