Precision environmental health research leverages next-generation sequencing tools and large-scale databases, such as The Cancer Genome Atlas and the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements, to increase the understanding of disease pathogenesis and how it adversely affects human health. The coordination of genetics, environmental health, and data science will not only explain how individuals differ in their susceptibility to disease, but also improve the ability of environmental health scientists to translate big data represented by these databases into information that will further their research. By bridging these disciplines, members of the center hope to increase understanding of susceptibility to disease as it relates to individuals and populations.  Publications/Creative Works Click here to search for this faculty member's publications on PubMed.  Affiliations  Training Grants Computational Cancer Biology Training Program  Research Consortia Gulf Coast Cluster for Single Cell Omics  Training Grants Training in Precision Environmental Health Sciences (TPEHS)  Appointments Title Department / School Institution Professor Center for Precision Environmental Health Baylor College of Medicine
