Dr. Melissa Gymrek's lab focuses on enhancing the analysis of genetic variants related to Mendelian diseases, especially those in repetitive regions of the genome. The lab aims to develop new methods for accurate profiling of complex repeat variants to improve clinical variant discovery. By making these repeat analyses a standard part of genetic testing, they hope to provide better diagnostics for various genetic disorders.

Dr. Scott Makeig's lab focuses on advancing the understanding of human brain dynamics through the development of the EEGLab software, which analyzes electroencephalography (EEG) data. This research is crucial for non-invasive brain imaging and studying cognitive processes. The lab integrates various modalities of brain imaging to enhance our interpretation of brain function, benefiting both basic and clinical neuroscience research.
