About:
My research is primarily concerned with identifying genetic susceptibility loci for common complex disorders. To this end, I apply various methods derived from statistics, genetics, and epidemiology to the analysis of large, typically family-based samples. My current projects include studies of non-insulin dependent diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer and gastro-esophageal reflux. In addition to studies of diseases, I am also involved in research which describes the quantitative variation associated with non-disease traits, such as thyroid hormone levels. As part of all of these research projects, I am constantly adapting and applying cutting-edge and traditional methods of analysis and also occasionally developing new methods for complex disease analysis. Oh, and I like to ski too...
