Research Interest:

Statistical genetics, psychiatry, and bioinformatics

Our lab is interested in developing computational and statistical approaches to analyze large-scale genomics data, and identifying the genetic basis of neurobehavioral disorders such as bipolar disorder, Tourette Syndrome, and schizophrenia. We use a multidisciplinary approach to achieve these goals by combining statistics, genetics, computer science, bioinformatics, and psychiatry. We extensively collaborate with researchers in UCLA and in other institutions such as Harvard Medical School, Broad Institute, and Asan Medical Center in Korea. More information on our lab can be found in our homepage (http://jaehoonsullab.semel.ucla.edu/).
