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.

Dr. Oetting is the director of the DNA analysis core facility of the General
Clinical Research Center.
