Research Interests

  • Medical and human genetics: the genetics of somatic cells, mouse models for human diseases especially complex disorders. Primary research interests include studies of de novo, somatically heritable and transient genetic changes that predispose to disease. We are also engaged in large projects whose ultimate goal is the identification of genes that have major contributions to complex oligogenic disorders, such as alcoholism and Tourette disorder. We have collaborated in the development of precision cancer diagnostics based on the genomics of individual tumors.
