Research Synopsis
Dr. Paterson’s work identifies genetic variations that are statistically associated with variation in both quantitative traits as well as specific diseases in humans. He focuses on traits related to diabetes, including kidney disease, eye disease, heart disease and nerve disease.
His team is also identifying genetic variants associated with measures of glycemia, including skin fluorescence. Dr. Paterson is involved in a number of projects where new methods for genetic studies are being developed.
