| The Postdoctoral Program in Physiological Genomics at the Human and Molecular Genetics Center offers postdoctoral research opportunities in a variety of areas such as genomics, expression analysis, bioinformatics, and proteomics. Research focuses on linkage and association studies of cardiovascular diseases, obesity, Alzheimer s disease, and other complex disorders in humans, analysis of linkage disequilibrium and haplotype structures of candidate regions in humans using single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), expression analysis and functional studies to identify genes involved in prostate cancer and obesity, and transgenic rat and mouse approaches to discover genes involved in development of complex disorders. The program provides training in statistical genetics and bioinformatics in collaboration with the Bioinformatics Research Center to develop novel approaches to data mining and analysis of complex biological and genetic datasets. Close collaborations with clinical and basic science departments at the College offer unique opportunities for disease-oriented training in functional genomics and human disease genetics. |
