Summary
Over 400,000 people in the UK live with type 1 diabetes. The condition is highly heterogeneous, with substantial variation in age at diagnosis, disease progression, treatment response, and risk of long-term complications. As disease-modifying therapies emerge and precision medicine become increasingly achievable, understanding this heterogeneity is critical. This PhD will use large-scale routinely-collected healthcare data and cutting-edge statistical approaches to characterise disease trajectories, develop risk prediction models, and identify factors associated with differential treatment outcomes. The findings will improve understanding of long-term outcomes in type 1 diabetes and provide evidence to inform risk stratification and personalised approaches to clinical care.
