Research Interests:

1. Genetic variation and human evolution, with particular interest in understanding the genetic diversity of African populations and multi-way mixed ancestry populations.
2. Functional components of heritability and heritability of human traits using next generation sequencing.
3. Generation and analysis of biological functional interaction networks.
4. Disease mapping in structured and mixed ancestry populations.
5. Common versus rare variant architectures of complex traits.
6. Computational approach for genomics association of drug/dosage responses, and genetics adaptation of human microbiomes.
7. Computational methods for the evolution of the diseases and their management.
8. Computational personalized genomic.

Biography:

  • I am a mathematical population geneticist whose research focuses on analysing genome wide patterns of variation within and between species to address fundamental questions in biology, anthropology, and medicine. 
  • I am Senior Lecturer at the division of Human Genetics,IDM, Department of pathology within the University of Cape Town. Publications
