Research Focus

My primary research focus is understanding the genetics, development, and evolution of characteristics with a complex genetic basis. Current research in my group can be divided into three main areas:|1. Statistical and computational approaches for finding genes underlying complex disease and quantitative phentoypes.|2. Modeling genetic networks and developmental pathways.|3. Quantitative genetics and evolution of Drosophila.
