Our Mission: We are a computational biology and genomics laboratory in the Department of Genetics at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. We conduct cutting-edge research focused on understanding the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms contributing to the progression of human diseases.
Our Vision: Our vision is to use a combination of molecular biology, CRISPR-based genetic perturbations screens, and Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) approaches to streamline the discovery of functional non-coding mutations and interpret how they contribute to the deregulation of gene expression in human diseases.
