We study functional genetic variation in human populations, and the mechanisms how it affects human traits and disease. Our work combines computational genomics, human population genetics approaches, and high-throughput experimental work. We focus on studying genetic effects on transcriptome and other molecular traits, which has further implications on the cellular and individual level. While some of our projects are closely related to specific diseases, our overall goal is to uncover general rules of the genomic sources of variation in human traits from a systems genetics perspective. The lab consists of two teams, based at SciLifeLab and KTH Royal Institute of Technology and at the New York Genome Center.
