Although I no longer have an active research laboratory, I welcome the opportunity to advise juniors and seniors in their independent work. Some examples of senior theses that I have advised in recent years are:
"Human obesity: Genetics, epigenetics & therapeutic opportunities"
BJ Sullivan ‘11"Beyond the “$1000 genome”: From third-generation sequencing to personalized medicine" Nikhil Basu Trivedi ‘11
"Complementary and alternative medicine in the United States: The role of rigorous scientific evaluation" Molly Kantor '08
"One more for "one less": Increasing the availability of vaccines targeting human Papillomavirus in the developing world" Anita Gupta '08
