Tuberculosis • leprosy • complex traits • transcriptomics • systems biologyResearch Interests
My research focuses on the identification and evaluation of host genetic factors in tuberculosis and leprosy. We are working with partner groups in endemic countries for those diseases and are applying modern concepts of genetics, genomics and sytems biology to our analyses.Team Members
