* Causal Relationship and Shared Genetic Loci between Psoriasis and Type 2 Diabetes through Trans-Disease Meta-Analysis. J Invest Dermatol.141(6): 1493-1502, 06/2021. This study investigates the genetic overlap and causal relationships between psoriasis and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Using trans-disease meta-analysis (TDMA), we identified shared genetic loci that suggest a potential common pathophysiological pathway between the ...

Gideon Bradburd

I am an evolutionary biologist interested in understanding the causes and consequences of genetic variation across time and space. One of the fundamental goals of evolutionary biology is to quantify patterns of genetic diversity within and between populations to enable the study of the processes that shape them. However, the development of key statistical methods ...

Mark Burns

Many biological assays require detection and quantification of chemical species in aqueous solutions. Dr. Burns has worked to develop inexpensive and easy ways to fabricate sensors that can detect proteins, small molecules, and ions in biological fluids such as blood, urine, and saliva. The sensors use a combination of electrochemical reactions, steric hinderance, and optical ...

Brendon Watson

I am a neuroscientist and psychiatrist with the goal of understanding brain mechanisms related to both neuropsychiatric disease and to healthy brain function. My approach use advanced neuroscientific tools that give insight into neural circuit function in relation behavior. I trained under Drs. Rafael Yuste and Gyorgy Buzsaki and have expertise in cortical and hippocampal ...

Silas Alben

I develop and use optimization algorithms (Newton-based, gradient-based, and genetic algorithms) to understand problems in fluid and solid mechanics with applications to biology. Examples of optimally efficient snake locomotion

Ryan Baldridge

I am interested in the basic mechanisms of protein quality control systems at cellular membranes. I study how these systems select their substrates and aim to identify the cellular pathways regulated by them. These processes are important in pathologies related to cell stress, protein misfolding, and protein misregulation. Human illnesses linked to these problems include ...

Charles Brooks

Our work is focused on the applications of statistical mechanics to the modeling and simulation of processes in biology, ranging from small molecule discovery for therapeutics and tool molecules, novel free energy methods for drug and protein design, biocatalyst discovery and design, and protein and RNA folding. Data science and machine learning, more specifically, are ...

Bingkai Wang

My research interests are in causal inference, randomized clinical trials, clustered data and their interactions with infectious disease research. In my research, data analysis is the core, and I use semi-parametric models and machine learning algorithms to draw statistical inference, make predictions, and quantify uncertainties.

Tomer Stern

Our lab is dedicated to understanding the complex choreography of cells as they organize during early animal development, giving rise to diverse organ morphologies. We achieve these through genetic manipulation, advanced microscopy, and computational data analysis, in two different model systems: the mouse skeletal system, and the early fruit fly embryo. Most of our work ...
