Research Interests

I am interested in various aspects of human genetics and genomics, including statistical and population genetics, mapping of disease susceptibility loci, and inference of the evolutionary histories of human populations. By integrating evolutionary theory into statistical modeling, my methodology research aims at developing analytic and computational approaches for identifying disease susceptibility loci in stratified or admixed populations. My applied research includes a large population-based study of the genetics of hypertension in humans. I have also collaborated on genetic studies of asthma in the Hispanic population, neurological disorder in the Romani population, and lysosomal storage diseases in the Jewish population.
