Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Becky Taylor's research primarily focuses on the genetic underpinnings of critical illness, particularly in the context of COVID-19. She has been involved in large-scale genomic studies, including Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) and meta-analyses, to identify genetic variants associated with severe outcomes from COVID-19 infection. Her work has contributed to mapping the human genetic architecture of the disease, identifying numerous genetic variants that influence an individual's susceptibility and response to critical illness.

In addition to her work on infectious diseases, Taylor has also published research examining educational practices, specifically focusing on 'ability grouping' or setting in secondary schools in England. These studies have utilized discourse analysis and mixed methods approaches to explore student confidence, teacher perceptions, and factors influencing the implementation of mixed attainment teaching. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 22 and over 1,676 citations across 156 publications. She collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Pebbles Fagan and M. Joycelyn Elders.
