    Collapse Overview 
    Collapse overview
    Our group focuses on computational approaches to discover and characterize context-specific genetic effects on complex disorders. This includes polygenic methods for gene-environment interaction, gene-gene interaction, and genetic subtypes of disease. We are particularly interested in applications to asthma, major depressive disorder, single cell omics, and cross-population portability of genetic predictions. Our long-term goal is to advance equitable precision treatment by embracing the full diversity of human contexts.

    PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
