Research Interests
Dr. Edwards' primary research interest is in the area of genetic epidemiology, particularly diabetes and the insulin resistance syndrome (IRS). However, she works on a broad range of topics and disease areas. Her work currently involves defining multivariate phenotypes for complex diseases and then using these phenotypes for mapping studies of diabetes and the IRS. She is also interested in interactions between environmental factors (diet) and genetic susceptibility to complex disease.
Teaching Interests
Dr. Edwards currently teaches EPI518/PHG518 "Computer Applications in Genetic Epidemiology" offered in the Spring Quarter, and is a co-instructor for EPI517/PHG511 "Genetic Epidemiology" offered in the Winter Quarter.
