Assistant Professor, Computational Medicine and Genetics
Areas of Interest
Animal Models of Disease, Complex Traits,聽 Gene Networks, Epigenetics, and Cardiovascular disease
About
My research focuses on using model organism populations to study cardiovascular disease.聽 I obtained my PhD in Microbiology, Immunology and Molecular Genetics at UCLA, where I began working with the Hybrid Mouse Diversity Panel to study the genetics underlying heart failure.聽 In my postdoc, I expanded into studying the epigenome and developing new co-expression network algorithms to study the concerted effects of multiple genes on phenotypes relating to cardiovascular disorders.聽 I am excited to be at 黑料网, one of the best places in the world for mouse genetics and continue my work applying bioinformatic techniques in these populations as well as pursuing several candidate genes through collaborative efforts.
