Georgia Tech Study Finds Genetic Disease Risk Is Rarely Just About Genetics

Sini Nagpal, who recently completed her postdoctoral training at Georgia Tech and is a graduate of its Bioinformatics Ph.D. program, and her former advisor, Professor Greg Gibson of the Center for Integrative Genomics and School of Biological Sciences, have published a new study in Nature Genetics showing that a person’s genetic risk for common diseases is deeply shaped by the environmental and social circumstances in which they live.
