Research

research overview

  • The research in my lab involves using measured single nucleotide polymorphism as well as sequencing data to gain insight into the genetic architecture of psychiatric disorders and other complex traits; and modeling and simulating genetically informative designs that better enable us to understand the causes of human trait variation and the resemblance between relatives. Our long-term goal is to elucidate the genetic underpinnings of psychiatric disorders and other complex traits
