Human variation and disease
Phenotypic variation is not only a major phenomenon in humans but also underlies why some individuals experience disease and others do not.

In 2014, I joined a startup called Interpreta where I plan to continue studying areas of human variation that can directly impact patient health. Stay tuned!
