I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Genetics,
Department of Biostatistics, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
My research interest is in statistical genetics.
My current research focuses on the development and application of
computational and statistical tools for the understanding
human genetic variation, with a particular focus on
complex human diseases and traits.
I have partipated in several applied projects including FUSION study of type 2 diabetes,
GAIN psoriasis study, Michigan age-related macular degeneration study,
and meta-analysis of plasma lipoprotein concentrations.
I am also analyzing data for
the 1000 Genomes project, particularly (1) extending genetic imputation methods to shotgun
sequence data and (2) mapping/aligning short sequence reads back to the reference genome. |
