Research Interests:
One of the things I love about human genetics is that the data we get from research often outpaces our understanding, so it seems that there will always be mysteries to discover.  This wonder and excitement is what I try to convey to my students. I am involved in genetics education at Emory on several levels.  One of my main goals has been to ensure proper incorporation of human genetics into the new curriculum of Emory School of Medicine.  As part of this goal, I chaired the committee that developed the new Genetics and Evolution module for the first year medical curriculum and serve as course director for the class.  I also serve as the course director for Medical Genetics, which is a required class for our post-graduate clinical fellows.  Along with Andy Faucett, I am designing and teaching a human genetics course for physician assistant students.  Teaching students with many different backgrounds and future goals is an exciting challenge, and I enjoy the opportunity to think about human genetics from many different angles
