Genetic regulation of gene expression is dynamic, as transcription can change during cell
differentiation and across cell types. We mapped expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) …

Dynamic and temporally specific gene regulatory changes may underlie unexplained
genetic associations with complex disease. During a dynamic process such as cellular …

The effect of anti-diabetic thiazolidinediones (TZDs) on contributing to heart failure and cardiac
ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury is controversial. In this study we investigated the effect of …

A comprehensive reference map of all cell types in the human body is necessary for improving
our understanding of fundamental biological processes and in diagnosing and treating …

Genetic variants that alter gene regulation play a crucial role in the genetics of human
development and disease. Although genome-wide association studies have found thousands of …

The effect of peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor‐gamma (PPARγ) agonist
rosiglitazone (RGZ), a thiazolidinedione (TZL), on cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury is …

… Most notably, I would like to thank Yoav Gilad, Katie Rhodes and Reem Elorbany at University
of Chicago for a fantastic collaboration while we studied dynamic genetic effects during …

A primary goal in human genetics is to understand how genetic variation affects phenotypic
variation observed between different individuals. Elucidating these connections is crucial to …

… I thank Mat Schnorenberg and Michael Clark for their mentorship on grant applications,
and Reem Elorbany for her mentorship and support. I want to thank my MSTP cohort for …

… No one has shaped my grad school experience more than Reem Elorbany—my lab twin,
the other head of my doduo, the brain to my pinky. We worked side by side from our very first …
