Research Interest:

My laboratory focuses on genetic mapping studies with a particular emphasis on neurobehavioral phenotypes and on investigation of population isolates. Our lab is also focused on aspects of technology development for high-throughput genotyping, namely delineating appropriate study populations and methods of analysis.
