Welcome to Heather Cordell's webpage
Heather Cordell is Professor of Statistical Genetics, and the holder of a Wellcome Investigator Award in Science, in the
Population Health Sciences Institute at Newcastle University, UK.
The research interests of her group are the development and application of statistical methodology to
genetic studies of complex disease.
As well as being a scientist - or at least someone who works in the realm of science - I have a strong Christian faith.
See church links on the left.
I personally do not find my belief in God to be incompatible with my work in science.
Here is a talk that I gave at the 2025 Newcastle University Christian Union Events Week
on the relationship between science and faith:
