In 2015 Peter was appointed a Chancellor’s fellow, with tenure track, in the Usher Institute for Population Health Sciences and Informatics, University of Edinburgh, and embarked upon a programme of research focussed on human aging, using genomics as a tool to elucidate biological pathways.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
