Lab Members

I study genetics of Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementia, and computational methods for big data in genomics research.

I develop methods, algorithms, and analysis tools for high-throughput sequencing and functional genomics data.

I develop computational pipelines and analysis tools for processing and analyzing Alzheimer's Disease and related dementia genetics and functional genomics data.

I develop algorithms and software for genomics data analysis.

I serve as the primary HR liaison for the Wang Lab, support the operational needs of the lab, as well as direct and oversee various projects related to lab and PNGC.

Cloud Manager; IT Support; Software Developer

I oversee data operations for the NIA Genomics of Alzheimer’s Disease Database Storage Site (NIAGADS) as well as for multiple large consortia conducting genetic analyses.

I manage and harmonize incoming data and prepare it for sharing with other researchers.

Administrative Support

I help manage the NIAGADS website as well as process data request from both the DSS as well as the NIAGADS portal.

I process and manage incoming data to be made functional and available for researchers.

I work on genome-wide association study (GWAS), HRC and TOPMed imputation data, help on developing and maintain QC pipeline for GWAS data.

I manage all data sharing compliance and related administrative activities for NIAGADS. I also manage the education and training program in PNGC.

I design and develop websites / web apps.

I manage and process high-throughput DNA-Seq and functional genomics data and help with NIAGADS data management.

I develop and manage databases/applications for phenotype data management and work on open-source applications for data discovery and access.

I work on new methods and pipelines for analysis of functional genomics and single cell data.

My research focuses on health disparity across racial groups, as well as gene-environment interactions.

I study the relationship between Alzheimer's Disease and innate immunity genetic risk
