Carole Ober is a Blum-Riese Distinguished Service Professor and Chair of the Human Genetics Committee at the University of Chicago. Her research focuses on the role of genetic variation and environmental exposures in the development of asthma and allergic diseases. She utilizes genetic, transcriptomic, and epigenomic markers to conduct integrated omic systems-level analyses. Ober’s studies involve longitudinal assessments of diverse U.S. populations across different age groups, measuring detailed phenotypes and environmental factors. She has published extensively on various topics related to asthma, including the interactions between prenatal ambient air pollution and DNA methylation of asthma-relevant genes. Her work has contributed to understanding the genetic contributions to allergic phenotypes in children, enhancing the field's understanding of asthma through functional genomics and statistical fine-mapping methods.
