My group works in the areas of statistical genetics and mathematical statistics. Our investigations are motivated by applications to genetics and genomics studies on common/complex diseases, with a focus on asthma. Statistical genetics problems of interest include developing of statistical methodology for sequencing-based data, microbiome,large-scale data integration, networks and systems biology.
