Dr. Kathryn Roeder's lab at Carnegie-Mellon University specializes in developing advanced statistical methods to analyze how genetic variations influence mental health. The team focuses on using techniques like CRISPR screening to study gene expression at the single-cell level, which helps to uncover the complex interactions between genes and their roles in psychiatric disorders. By integrating and interpreting high-dimensional genomic data, the lab seeks to better understand the biological mechanisms underlying mental illness.
