Advances in technology have increased the availability of genomic and clinical data.However, capacity to analyze genomic data in a biomedical setting needs meaningful integration of the different data sets from various sources.I have been involved in the design, development, and implementation of university-wide and community-wide genetic variation and clinical database applications. I have been collaborating with physicians and researchers at Yale Center for Asthma and Airway Diseases (YCAAD) and atmospheric scientists to better understand the relationship between asthma and other respiratory diseases and fluctuations in atmospheric and environmental parameters the patient is exposed to. I am interested in integrating diverse data sources to study the impacts of climate change on human health.
