Who We Are The laboratory of Dr. Steve Parker is in the Gilbert S. Omenn Department of Computational Medicine & Bioinformatics, Human Genetics, and Biostatistics at the University of Michigan. Our major goal is to generate mechanistic knowledge about how disease susceptibility is encoded in the non-coding portion of the genome (from GWAS), with a focus on metabolic traits. We accomplish this through an interdisciplinary combination of molecular/cellular and computational approaches. We generate multiple high-throughput functional genomics data sets on the genome, epigenome, and transcriptome across species and in disease-relevant tissues/cells at single-cell multi-omic resolution and use computational approaches to integrate and analyze this data. The lab culture is one of openness, scientific rigor, friendliness, and general good humor. To help enable this lab culture, we invest in supporting the people on our team. For example, we have quarterly wellness meetings and an annual wellness retreat. For more general information, please see the Parker lab website: ************************
