The development and progression of complex diseases and even rare diseases are caused by complex interactions between genetic and environmental (including dietary and lifestyle) factors. We aim to delineate the genetic and environmental factors and their interactions contributing to increased risk and progression of genetic diseases. Understanding the pathogenesis and the interplay between gene and environment interactions of complex disease are important steps for personalized medicine and for developing optimal approaches for preventing or delaying the onset of such disorders.

Studying gene-environment interactions of genetic diseases using family- and population-based designs remains extremely challenging. We tackle the challenge starting from characterization of disease-causing genes and pathogenic pathways of rare diseases, followed by stratification of environmental modifiers of the pathogenesis pathways and their effects on disease progression. 

We currently focus on connective tissue disorders, as many common age-related diseases are highly associated with connective tissue deterioration. These diseases include cardiovascular diseases, type II diabetes, bone and cartilage degeneration, and cancers. Furthermore, both genetic and environmental factors play important roles in disease progression.
