Area of Expertise
Research in the Reynolds Lab is centered around the study of human genomic variation and its influence on health and disease. We use an interdisciplinary approach that combines expertise from the fields of population genetics, genomics, anthropology, and epidemiology to answer questions in four primary areas:
1) human evolutionary genetics to understand how migration, admixture, demography, and natural selection have shaped genetic diversity and complex traits
2) the genomics of immune response and infectious disease risk
3) how our genomes interact with social and lifestyle factors to create health disparities in diverse populations worldwide
4) using genomics to better identify and understand the etiology of rare diseases
