Research Interests

  • Medical and human genetics: the genetics of somatic cells, mouse models for human diseases and genes for complex human genetic disorders. Primary research interests include studies of both somatically heritable and transient genetic changes in somatic cells that predispose to disease in humans. In addition, we are engaged in several large projects whose ultimate goal is the identification of genes that have major contributions to complex oligogenic disorders.
