Danielle Belgrave

Danielle Belgrave, PhD is a Research Fellow in Biomedical Modelling at Imperial College London.
She is the recipient of an MRC Career Development Award in Biostatistics (2015) and her research focuses on latent variable modelling for accelerated endotype discovery.
There is growing recognition that asthma is not a single disease but a collection of diseases with similar clinical presentations. Statistical machine learning modelling techniques allow us to achieve a better understanding of the underlying complexities of asthma and allergic diseases based on this observed heterogeneity in the clinical manifestations of symptoms, especially during childhood. Dr Belgrave’s work is aimed towards understanding the genetic, biological and environmental factors associated with distinct developmental profiles of asthma and allergy in order to enable more personalised treatment and management strategies.
She has been the recipient of a number of awards including the Microsoft Research PhD Programme Scholarship and the Dorothy Hodgkins Postgraduate Award (2010), the Barry Kay Award from the British Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (2011) and Best Presentation Awards at the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (2010 and 2013).
She has also spent time working in respiratory medicine in the pharmaceutical industry and during this time, she received the GlaxoSmithKline Exceptional Scientist Award (2015) for her statistical methodological work.
