Summary
The goal of the fellowship is capitalize on successful gene mapping studies for endometriosis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), melanoma and other complex diseases and conduct functional studies, cross-disease analyses, and genetic studies of response to treatment. These studies will identify specific genes responsible for increased disease risk to understand the biology of these diseases, their relationship with other diseases, and help improve disease management and clinical outcomes.
