The goal of my group's research is to delineate the genetic susceptibility to specific common diseases, as a basis for an improved understanding of their etiologies and as a means for developing methods of identifying high-risk individuals for disease prevention. Our current research efforts are focused on family epidemiologic, physiologic, and linkage studies of metabolic/cardiovascular and gastrointestinal/autoimmune diseases, more specifically of inflammatory bowel disease, atherosclerosis, hypertension, systemic lupus erythematosus and both insulin and noninsulin dependent diabetes. In this context, we also conduct theoretical work on genetic epidemiologic approaches, genetic analytic methodologies, and development of clinical application programs.
