Gary Churchill Ph.D., Professor
As the Director of the Data & Statistical Core for the Nathan Shock Center of Excellence in Basic Biology of Aging, my aim is to provide data analysis support for ongoing studies within the Shock Center inlcuding the development of new analysis methods and software necessary to support aging research, dissemination of data and providing experimental dsign and support to collaborators. My lab employs a combination of strategies to investigate the genetic basis of complex traits associated with aging. We are developing new methods and software that will improve the power of quantitative trait loci mapping and microarray analysis, as well as graphical models that aim to intuitively and precisely characterize the genetic architecture of age related disease.
