Research Interests:
Genetic analysis of complex traits, DNA technology development
Summary:
The overall goal of our research is to develop the tools for genetic analysis of whole genomes and apply these tools to elucidate the genetic factors associated with common human diseases. Our group developed a number of DNA analytical assays and was part of the International Haplotype Map Consortium that recently constructed the comprehensive genetic (haplotype) maps of the human genome with close to a million markers. This map is freely available to all researchers to map genes involved in common human diseases.
Currently, we are developing efficient methods for molecular haplotyping and DNA sequencing. We are applying state-of-the-art molecular genetic tools to identify genetic factors associated with diverse complex human traits such as longevity, hypertension, sudden cardiac arrest, hemorrhagic stroke, psoriasis, lupus, and kidney transplantation outcome. We are also conducting studies to identify genetic factors associated with drug response to chemotherapy in colon cancer
