Our group aims to uncover the genetic and non-genetic factors underlying complex phenotypes (such as diseases and quantitative traits) using genetic, genomic, bioinformatic, and epidemiological methods. Study organisms range from viruses to humans.

Active projects include:

• Molecular evolution of influenza genomes
• Molecular evolution of SARS-CoV-2 genomes
• Identifying the environment driven evolutionary forces that have shaped the human genomic variation, and the role of this genomic variation in contemporary human diseases
• Genetic and proteomic analysis of macular dejeneration
• Epidemiological studies on cancer treatment and other disesases
