Dr. Jessica Cooke Bailey’s research has focused on applying sophisticated statistical methods to understand the genetic basis of glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration in European Americans, including the Amish. Dr. Cooke Bailey is now expanding her work to harness the power of electronic health record (EHR) data coupled with genomics and other “omics” data to understand why African Americans are at increased risk for glaucoma compared with other populations. Understanding glaucoma risk factors will begin to address health disparities with the goal of informing treatment options.

Radhika Atit

My research is focused on areas of skin development and patterning and cranial bone development. There is relatively little known about the genetic and cellular events that lead to the acquisition of dermal cell identity and differentiation in the embryo. My goal is to identify the genetic pathways that confer dermal cell identity which confers competence to induce various appendages of the skin and promote the patterning of the skin. We are currently using genetic tools to determine functional mediators of dermal cell and cranial bone identity and differentiation. We are also developing postnatal models to identify underlying mechanisms of skin fibrosis. These are fundamental biological problems with implications for development in general, and for our understanding of skin and skull bone related diseases.
