I have +identified multiple novel genes associated with SLE using both +genome-wide association studies and trio-based studies in targeted +regions. In collaborative work, I have identified a causal variant in +NCF2 +([rs17849502](http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/SNP/snp_ref.cgi?rs=rs17849502)) +using both *in silico* and *in vitro* approaches. I am currently +working on identifying causal variants in additional associated genes +using targeted deep sequencing using high-throughput variant analysis +pipelines to prioritize variants for additional *in silico* and *in +vitro* experiments. In the future, utilizing my extensive +bioinformatic and software development experience, I will head a +development group working on techniques for the storage, alignment, +and analysis of terabytes (eventually petabytes) of next-generation +sequencing data from collaborations studying human-relevant diseases +and biological systems. + + +Teaching Mission +---------------- + +While teaching, my primary mission is to have my students experience +the excitement of scientific discovery for themselves. Secondarily, I +use that excitement to keep them engaged and interested in the +material. While a graduate student at UC Riverside, I was a teaching +assistant for [Introductory Biology, Genetics, Molecular Biology, and +Developmental Biology](http://www.biology.ucr.edu/courses/UGcourses.html) +
