Research Interests
Dr. Oetting's research focuses on the genetic analysis of common diseases. His major research is identifying genetic variants associated with adverse outcomes in solid organ transplantation. This work is includes using a high density SNP chip for association studies. My research in transplantation also includes proteomic analysis of urine to identify biomarkers associated with different clinical outcomes.
Dr. Oetting is also interested in determining variants associated with susceptibility to asthma. The lab has identified several loci associated with asthma in families and we are currently mapping theses asthma susceptibility genes.
