    Collapse research overview
    Dr. Smail is a Group Leader within the Genomic Medicine Center, and a faculty member within the Department of Pediatrics at UMKC. Directly prior to this role, he was a graduate student in the laboratory of Dr. Stephen Montgomery at Stanford University. His research interests are, broadly, to uncover rare genetic variation influencing gene regulation and expression in both common and rare complex diseases. One area of focus is to determine to what extent rare genetic-driven transcriptomic effects are modeled in differentiated tissues and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC); in partial pursuit of this goal, he co-lead an international consortium of researches in establishing a large-scale iPSC multi-omic reference set (i2QTL). Dr. Smail is an active member of the GTEx, Undiagnosed Diseases Network, and TOPMed projects.
