Research
Objectives
The aim of my lab is to identify genetic and environmental risk factors for complex human diseases and traits, including Type 2 Diabetes, Alzheimer's Disease, and more generally cardio and neurovascular diseases. Our research interests include a better characterization of 1) the biological mechanisms underlying complex human traits through the integration of genetics with other types of biological 'omics' data, and 2) the genetic architecture of complex human traits in diverse populations. We are actively involved in large collaborative and international consortia such as The Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology (CHARGE) consortium, The Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine (TOPMed) Program, and the Alzheimer's Disease Sequencing Project (ADSP).
