In the Davis Lab, we are driven to understand how polygenic liability, rare variant effects, and environment interact to affect the health of human populations. We study a wide range of traits including psychiatric and non-psychiatric chronic disease. Many of our projects are focused on identifying and understanding the biological and clinical linkages between mental health and physical health.
