The Churchill Lab

Investigating the genetics of health and disease with a systems approach.

Our Research Focus

Our lab is actively applying a systems approach to study the genetics of health and disease, incorporating new statistical methods for the investigation of complex disease-related traits in the mouse. We are developing new methods and software that will improve the power of quantitative trait loci mapping and microarray analysis, as well as graphical models that aim to characterize the genetic architecture of disease intuitively and precisely.
