There, her research mainly concerned the identification of genetic variants for energy expenditure and fat oxidation through linkage and association studies. In July 2005, she joined the MRC Epidemiology Unit of the Institute of Metabolic Science in Cambridge (England) to become Group Leader of the Genetic Aetiology of Obesity Programme. She also lectured at Department of Genetics of the University of Cambridge.
