Research Interests

Approximately 170 million people are diabetic and that number is expected to increase by about 80 million in the next 15 years. The treat majority of diabetics have type 2 diabetes. A major goal of diabetes researchers is to understand the genetic factors that contribute to obesity-=induced diabetes. I will be studying the role of inflammation in the onset of diabetes and will develop methods to identify gene regulators and networks that interfere with insulin signaling. I aim to create directed network models of inflammatory response that overlap with clinical QTL for insulin, and to help develop methods and tools to expedite the discovery of networks.
