Medical Genomics:
Our research also has medical genetic components to it. The medical use of the warfarin-based coumadin as blood thinning drug to combat thrombosis, stroke, and heart attack is a true success story in applied biochemical research (c.f. The Scientist 2 [23], pp. 4). My research aims to help identifying the gene(s) underlying pathways affected by warfarin, and the role the genes play in the expression of complex disease.
