Research interests

To develop methodology for combining information from large-scale data bases in molecular analyses of aging subjects.This study is important for researchers as well as the public in that it takes into account molecular relationships in more detail than what has previously been considered. Also, I participate in a wide range of statistical issues related to analysis of health science data.
