News

 * A collaborate R21 project entitled “Discovery of novel genetic variation in African American anticoagulation patients” was funded by NHLBI. Jeong lab will characterize functional significance of the identified genetic variations.  Dr. Minoli Perera at University of Chicago is the principal investigator of the grant.  Other collaborators include Dr. Larisa Cavallari. (July 2011)
 * Steve Jurkovic passed his preliminary exam on June 17, 2011. Congratulations!
