User:Rwintle - Wikiwand

I am a human geneticist and molecular biologist by training and have a PhD from the University of Toronto's Department of Molecular and Medical Genetics. Over the years I have studied the organization of immunoglobulin heavy chain genes^[1]^[2]^[3], the neurobiology of dopamine signaling in the nematode C. elegans,^[4]^[5] and the genetics of inflammatory diseases (Crohn's Disease^[6]^[7]^[8] and Rheumatoid Arthritis^[9]). Currently I work at The Centre for Applied Genomics and am interested in structural variation of the human genome.^[10]^[11]^[12]
