Grant Activity:
Identifying the contribution of phenotypic and genetic risk factors for complex traits, with implication to risk prediction and causal inference
Purpose:
My research identifies genes and other risk factors for diseases. For the next five years, I aim to: 1) Identify disease genes for glaucoma, a blinding eye disease, and to use genetic screening to detect people at high risk before they develop glaucoma. 2) Investigate the validity of measuring the eye nerve thickness for early detection of dementia. 3) Investigate what modifiable risk factors cause cancer. These studies lead to better risk prediction and prevention programs for these diseases.
