Role: Faculty
Research Interests:

My expertise ranges from basic pharmacological techniques to the specialization in the analysis for disease-gene associations studies and Pharmacogenomics associations in experimental and observational studies including genome-wide association studies (GWAS). My major scientific interests centre on identifying genetic architecture of complex human diseases and traits (e.g. cardiovascular diseases and drug response). My research focus is sources of inter-patient variability in drug response, particularly cardiovascular drug pharmacogenomics and disease-gene association that may be relevant to pharmacogenomics, and the influence of race/ethnicity on drug response and pharmacogenomics. The majority of my research centres around the pharmacogenomics of antihypertensive drugs..
