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.
