"Additive Least Squares Kernel Machine Methods for Analysis of Large Scale Genomic Data."

Recent advances in high-throughput biotechnology have culminated in the development of large scale,population based studies for identifying genomic features (e.g. genes, SNPs, CpGs) associated with complex diseases and traits. Understanding an individual's genomic disposition for particular traits and diseases can provide information towards the development of individualized risk profiles and treatment regimes and simultaneously provides clues as to the underlying biological mechanisms. However, the high dimensionality of the feature space, the limited availability of samples, and our incomplete understanding of how features biologically influence disease impose a grand challenge in analyzing genomic data. To mitigate some of these challenges, we propose two new methods. First, we develop the additive least squares kernel machine approach for nonparametrically modeling and testing the cumulative effect of a group of features (such as multiple biologically related CpGs) while nonparametrically adjusting for complex, nonlinear covariates. Second, building on the additive least squares kernel machine, we develop a novel approach for testing for interactions between two different groups of (biologically related) features. By focusing on multi-feature testing, both approaches reduce the dimensionality of the data, and using the kernel machine framework allows for flexible, possibly nonparametric analysis which is important given our incomplete understanding of how features influence the outcome. The advantages of both of the proposed approaches will be madeevident via empirical investigations as well as real data applications.

Hosted by: Division of Clinical Pharmacology and Department of Pharmacology

The Grant R. Wilkinson Distinguished Lectureship in clinical pharmacology was established in honor of Grant R. Wilkinson, who was a remarkable teacher and leader in the science of drug disposition at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine and throughout the world for nearly four decades. He was one of the most frequently cited researchers in the pharmacological sciences. His scientific insight influenced many who trained or taught in the Division of Clinical Pharmacology and the Department of Pharmacology at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine - in both the classroom and the laboratory. Dr. Wilkinson passed away in 2006. Members of the Division of Clinical Pharmacology, the Departments of Pharmacology and Medicine and the School of Medicine recognize Dr. Wilkinson's achievements by endowing this lectureship in his honor.

The graduate students in the Department of Pharmacology named their annual forum the Joel G. Hardman Student-Invited Pharmacology Forum, in recognition of Dr. Hardman's sustained interest in the training of young scientists.

About Joel G. Hardman

Joel G. Hardman served as Chair of the Department of Pharmacology from 1975-1990, establishing the department as a premier place for research and training in pharmacology. A major reason for the success of the Training Program in Pharmacological Sciences was Dr. Hardman's personal involvement in the mentoring of each graduate student. He expected each student to perform at their best and created an intellectual environment that fostered the scientific growth and critical thought of students, postdoctoral fellows and faculty colleagues.

Joel G. Hardman received his Ph.D. degree in Pharmacology from Emory University in 1964. He came to Vanderbilt to be a postdoctoral fellow with Earl Sutherland. After his early work on cyclic AMP as a second messenger, carried out in Sutherland's laboratory, Dr. Hardman went on to discover guanylate cyclase, the enzyme responsible for synthesizing cyclic GMP from GTP. This discovery led to the appreciation that cGMP, like cAMP, can serve as an intracellular second messenger. He rose through the ranks to become Professor of Physiology in 1972. His creative and incisive mind, which contributed to his discoveries, also served him well in his role as teacher and mentor. In 1975, he was appointed as Chair of Pharmacology, and in 1991 was named Associate Vice-Chancellor for Health Affairs.

Dr. Hardman is internationally recognized as an outstanding scientist, educator and administrator. In 1992, Dr. Hardman became Co-Editor-In-Chief of the major text in Pharmacology, Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, which is published in many languages worldwide. He served as President of the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics in 1993/1994.

2013 Student Forum Schedule:

ABOUT THE SPEAKERS:

Michael Koenigs, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Department of Psychiatry

University of Wisconsin-Madison

Dr. Koenigs received his B.S. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2002 and his Ph.D. degree in 2006 from the University of Iowa. He completed his postdoctoral fellowship at the National Institutes of Health (NINDS) from 2006-2008. Dr. Koenigs joined the faculty at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2008.

Research Interests of the Koenigs Lab: The goal of Dr. Koenigs's research is to identify and characterize the brain circuits underlying emotion and social behavior. To this end, they primarily study two clinical populations with notable deficits in these domains: first, they study neurological and neurosurgical patients who have undergone dramatic changes in emotion, personality, and social behavior as a result of focal brain lesions. Second, they study prison inmates with psychopathy, a mental health disorder characterized by impulsive antisocial behavior and a marked lack of empathy and guilt. In 2009, Dr. Koenigs was awarded an NIMH Mentored Research Scientist Development Award.

David Goldman, M.D.,Senior Investigator,Laboratory of Neurogenetics,National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA),National Institutes of Health, Rockville, MD

Dr. Goldman received his B.S. from Yale University in 1974. He received his M.D. degree in 1978 and completed residency training in psychiatry in 1979, both at the University of Texas Medical Branch. Dr. Goldman joined the NIAAA in 1979 and has been Chief of the Laboratory of Neurogenetics since 1991.

Research Interests of the Goldman Lab: Throughout his career, Dr. Goldman has focused on the identification of genetic factors responsible for inherited differences in behavior. His laboratory is currently exploring the genetics of alcoholism and related psychiatric diseases, and is well-known for his work identifying effects of functional genetic variants on intermediate phenotypes for complex behavioral diseases.
