| I am working on large-scale leading genetic associations’ studies
of South Asia (Pakistan)and European population such as, Pakistan Risk of Myocardial Infarction
Study (PROMIS), Risk Assessment of Cerebrovascular Events
(RACE), Pakistan Type-2 Diabetes Study, and 1000 Genome Pakistan, andGenetics
of Diabetes and Audit Research Tayside Study(GoDARTS) and GOSHARE. |
| My expertise ranges from basic
pharmacological techniques to the specialization in analysis for disease-gene
association studies and Pharmacogenomics associations in experimental and
observational studies including genome-wide association studies (GWAS), genome
wide association meta-analysis (GWAMA). My major scientific interests center on
identifying genetic architecture of complex human diseases and traits (e.g.
cardiovascular diseases and drug response). My research focus is sources of
inter-patient variability in drug response, particularly cardiovascular drug
pharmacogenomics and disease-gene association that may be relevant to
pharmacogenomics, and the influence of race/ethnicity on drug response and
pharmacogenomics. The majority of my research centers around the
pharmacogenomics of antihypertensive and antidiabetic drugs. |
