I have a long-standing interest in the analysis of genome-wide linkage and association studies of complex genetic traits. I have also recently become involved in the analysis of gene expression data, in genome-wide linkage and association studies to find eQTLs relevant to disease. I have taken an active role in developing novel statistical methodology for linkage and association analysis of complex genetic traits, notably in the use of covariates in linkage and association studies, and the effects of genotyping error on genetic studies. Currently, I am particularly interested in the analysis of functional pathways in genome-wide association, CNV and gene expression data.
