Bio/Research

I study the molecular genetics of common human diseases. The common human diseases that account for the vast majority of morbidity and mortality in our society are known to have underlying inherited components. Rapid advances in molecular genetics have led to a stage where identification of genetic variants contributing to these common but complex traits is feasible. Such identification promises to revolutionize the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to these disorders.
