Research/Areas of Interest:
Thousands of loci in the human genome have been identified that influence human disease risk. Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with complex disease risk are enriched in non-coding regions of the genome, specifically in cis-regulatory elements. Using the mouse as a model organism, my project focuses on modeling and understanding how a combination of human risk alleles across multiple loci contribute to complex disease burden.
