As a quantitative geneticist I am motivated to understand the translation of genetic variation into complex phenotypes, and the rapidly developing capacity in our field to interrogate the genetic and transcriptomic content of cells has allowed us to generate great insight into this process. In my work at The Jackson Laboratory I am focused on basic and translational cancer research using patient-derived xenograft models, as well as the development of computational methods and curated data resources required for integrative research.
