Biography

Dr Nadeem Qureshi graduated from University College London Medical School in 1986, going on to get his diploma from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (DRCOG) in 1989 and his Diploma in Geriatric Medicine (DGM) in 1990. He became a Member of the Royal College of General Practitioners (MRCGP) with Distinction in 1991, and achieved his MSc in Health Service Research & Technology Assessment in 1999 from the University of Sheffield.

Current Research

Dr Qureshi is one of the leading experts on Primary Care Genetic in the United Kingdom. He leads an internationally recognised group that focuses on translation of genetics into clinical practice, developed in tandem with advance in the human genome project and emerging screening policies. The current research and development falls into three broad areas:

  • Genetic risk identification for common chronic disorders and inherited recessive conditions
  • Preconception, antenatal and neonatal genetic screening
  • Incorporating of genetic information in risk prediction models

------------

Recent projects of the group have included:

  • Systematic reviews of the use of family history tools in primary care
  • The first randomised controlled trial assessing the psychological effects of family history screening
  • Developing and testing complex interventions to improve the identification and management of genetic predisposition in primary care and non-specialist settings
