Biography

We are a computational biology lab that focuses on the use of population-level data to understand variation in gene expression and post-transcriptional processing. Our current focus is understanding RNA processing in human mitochondria and the downstream functional impacts on health and disease.

    Research

    Computational Biology
    Bioinformatics and Population Genomics

    A computational biology lab that works on identifying the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying variation in the human mitochondrial transcriptome

    Diabetic and non-diabetic Alzheimer’s disease: studying mitochondria in post-mortem brain to understand the underlying mechanisms

    Diabetes can increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) through unknown mechanisms.

    Project status: Ongoing
