Research Focus
Dr. Noah Rosenberg's lab at Stanford University focuses on understanding how genetic variations contribute to complex human diseases using population genetics. The lab employs large-scale sequencing studies to discover and analyze rare genetic variants, particularly those that are recessive and linked to disease risk. Their work aims to enhance research methodologies and develop user-friendly software tools for other researchers in the field.

Research Aims
4AIM 01Construct models of population-genetic forces on runs of homozygosity (ROH).
AIM 02Develop tests to measure the impact of ROH on complex disease risk.
AIM 03Differentiate between germline and somatic acquired homozygosity.
AIM 04Evaluate the influence of ROH on medical traits using large genomic databases.
