Overview

Sathanur R. Srinivasan is affiliated with Tulane University in the United States. Their research focuses primarily on biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology with an emphasis on genetic associations and epidemiology, birth, development, and health, as well as nutrition, genetics, and disease. These topics form the core of their scientific investigations.

The scientist has contributed to several publications, notably appearing in UNC Libraries. Some of their recent papers include:

  • Fine-mapping, novel loci identification, and SNP association transferability in a genome-wide association study of QRS duration in African Americans (2020, UNC Libraries)
  • Novel Loci Associated With PR Interval in a Genome-Wide Association Study of 10 African American Cohorts (2020, UNC Libraries)
  • Genome-wide Association Analysis of Blood-Pressure Traits in African-Ancestry Individuals Reveals Common Associated Genes in African and Non-African Populations (2020, UNC Libraries)

Srinivasan's work intersects various subfields, including genetics and pediatrics, perinatology, and child health. These areas reflect an interdisciplinary approach combining molecular biology with health outcomes early in life.

In their collaborative efforts, Srinivasan frequently coauthors with a select group of researchers involved in related genetic and epidemiological investigations. These frequent coauthors are:

  • Sarah S. Murray
  • Daniel S. Evans
  • Christy L. Avery
  • Li Guo
  • Erin N. Smith

The combination of topics and subfields highlights Srinivasan's focus on understanding the genetic basis of health-related traits, especially in African American and African-ancestry populations. Their research aims to map genetic loci and examine their transferability across populations to reveal common and unique genetic contributors to cardiovascular and blood-pressure related traits.
