    Collapse Overview 
    Collapse overview
    Research in our labs focuses on the genetic architecture of traits and diseases that vary across human populations and on understanding the role of natural selection in shaping this architecture. To this end, we use empirical population genetics and functional genomics approaches coupled with computational analyses of genome-scale data.
