The CHGR 12th Annual Genetics Symposium

Mark your calendars for the 12th Annual Center for Human Genetics Research Symposium on Wednesday, October 5th, 2011! I had the distinct privilege of organizing the symposium this year, and since I have an interest in large scale data sets, I selected a group of scientists who explore massive collections…

evoBIO 2012

Mario Giacobini of the University of Torino, Leonardo Vanneschi of the University of Milano-Bicocca, and I are the co-chairs of evoBIO 2012! evoBIO is part of the evoSTAR conference series that explores evolutionary computing and the application of evolutionary algorithms to numerous problem domains. evoBIO specifically focuses on…

PSB 2011 cis-Epistasis

For our submission to the Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing 2011, we examined the role of cis-regulatory epistasis in the expression of human genes. We identified 706 SNP-SNP interactions that significantly alter the expression of 79 genes after multiple testing correction with false discovery rate. PSB 2011 cis-Epistasis Analysis…

Education

Conducting research is a core component of any scientific laboratory, but even the best research is meaningless if it cannot be effectively communicated to others. This is critically important for computational sciences where concepts can...

Research

My research interests lie in two inter-related areas: identifying genetic mechanisms associated with common human phenotypes and phenotype classes, and advancing our understanding of complex relationships among genetic variants in the human genome. Human genetic...
