Dr. Xiaoli Lin Professor, Department of Biochemistry, School of Medicine Member, Center for RNA Science and Therapeutics, School of Medicine Assistant Professor, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Case School of Engineering Research Interests Human diseases are caused by the interplay between gene and environment. Deep sequencing reveals millions of mutations between the genomes of unrelated individuals; however, the consequences of these mutations remain mostly unclear. Besides genetic impact, the actual development of individuals' disease phenotypes is largely subjected to their lifestyle, behavior, and environmental exposures.
