We have developed next-generation sequencing methods to analyze the output of combinatorial selections as well as comprehensive gene-environment-trait data for affordable personalized medicine. We reprogram human skin-derived pluripotent skin cells to connect cis-regulatory motif variants in populations to allele-specific and cell-type-specific RNA measures and further to causal effects on cell and larger-scale morphologies. We are developing tools for connecting functional microbiomics with (VDJ-ome) immune responses. - ## Field of Study [Bacterial Viruses](/field-study/bacterial-viruses) [HIV and SIV](/field-study/hiv-and-siv) [Immunology of Viral Infection](/field-study/immunology-viral-infection) [Pathogenesis of Viral Infection](/field-study/pathogenesis-viral-infection) [Receptors and Signal Transduction](/field-study/receptors-and-signal-transduction) [Regulation of Transcription](/field-study/regulation-transcription) [Structural Biology and Virus Assembly](/field-study/structural-biology-and-virus-assembly) [Viral Vaccines](/field-study/viral-vaccines) [Viral Vectors](/field-study/viral-vectors) - ## Person [Faculty](/people/person/faculty)
