Research Focus
Dr. Ira M Hall's lab at Yale University focuses on understanding the genetic basis of complex diseases, particularly coronary artery disease. They develop advanced methods for analyzing whole genome sequencing data, aiming to improve gene mapping studies by using a diverse set of reference genomes. By leveraging these cutting-edge techniques, the lab seeks to uncover new genetic variants that contribute to disease risk across various populations.
