Biography
Dr. Dharambir Sanghera’s research specializes in the study of molecular and genetic-epidemiological aspects of common complex diseases, including diabetes, coronary heart disease, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. Using expertise in wide range of molecular and statistical genetics concepts, her laboratory is studying the interplay between environmental and genetic factors involved in complex disease pathogenesis on family- and population-based datasets. The long-term goals of Dr. Sanghera’s research are; 1) to identify the underlying molecular mechanisms associated with cardiovascular disorders, 2) to improve the classification of the disease process by identifying genome-wide patterns associated with ethnic variation, and 3) to discover new therapeutic targets which can inform the design of early prevention and treatment therapy among disparate populations
