Collaborations: The human genome project is changing the practice of medicine and public health, and genomics is playing an ever more central role in all the biomedical sciences. The advances in our understanding biology and technologies to assess various aspects of the genome, epigenome, transcriptome and proteome present remarkable opportunities for the prevention, treatment and cure of human disease. However, this type of research requires a multidisciplinary team involving clinicians, basic scientists, statistician, bioinformatics and computer science. Our goal is to collaborate with researchers on studies trying to uncover the relationship between complex traits and the genome, transcriptome, epigenome and proteome.

Methodological Research: The research focus of the core's faculty and staff focus on novel statistical, bioinformatics and computational approaches for 'omic data to determine the biological and genetic basis of complex traits, including neurological disorders, cancer, and pharmacogenomics. The development of state-of-the-art tools will assist researchers with the study design, processing, analysis, interpretation and integration of data across the various 'omes.
