Welcome to my website!


I am a Research Associate working with Prof. Heather Cordell. The focus of my work is to develop statistical genetic software for the research community available on the GNU General Public License.


Research Interests

The estimation of parental and child genetic effects based on genotype data from different pedigree structures. The use of genotype data from the parents as well as from the subject in question allows the estimation of complex genetic effects such as maternal genotype effects, maternal-foetal interactions or parent-of-origin (imprinting) effects. Software (EMIM/PREMIM) is now available.


Other interests include the analysis of multiple genetic loci that are in linkage disequilibrium.
