Empowering gene discovery and accelerating clinical translation for admixed populations

A 5-year NIH R01 grant awarded to develop ancestry-aware statistical methods and software to improve gene discovery and clinical translation for admixed populations, with all tools released as open-source.

Description

This project aims to develop innovative statistical methods, software, and resources to improve genetic analysis in admixed populations, supporting gene discovery and clinical translation. The project will develop robust, ancestry-aware frameworks for gene discovery and clinical translation, producing scalable publicly available tools and resources that can be integrated into genomic pipelines, facilitating use across research and clinical settings. The project supports more reproducible genetic findings by improving analytic precision across complex ancestry profiles.
