Altshuler Lab Home
Overview
The Altshuler laboratory is focused on discovering and understanding the genetic causes of disease. In particular, investigators use a variety of genetic tools, methods, and databases, lab members look for genes and SNPs related to Type 2 diabetes. As these loci are identified, investigators seek to identify the functions of each gene loci and the role each has in the Type 2 diabetes process.
