Funded Activity Summary

Our understanding of common disease is hampered by the complexity of the human system. The DNA variations found in genome wide association studies of common disease are rarely in the gene coding region. I aim to develop statistical bioinformatic tools to find how the DNA variations affect human disease by taking gene expression as the quantitative phenotype. The results will explain the genetic risk of human common disease, so that better personalized prevention and therapy can be achieved.
