I am currently working on several omic-level Mendelian randomization screens to identify potential causal genes, proteins, and metabolites for psychiatric disorders. I am using the findings from these studies to formulate hypotheses and inform the design of subsequent deep-dive studies using a recall-by-genotype design.

Also, in collaboration with Dr. Parul Mittal, Prof. Peter Hoffmann, and Dr. Catherine Toben, I am currently generating pilot mass-spec proteomic data from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) purified from healthy volunteers to inform the design of a protein quantitative trait locus study focused on cellular, as opposed to plasma/serum, proteins.
