His research group has made major contributions to mitochondrial biology and genomics. His group characterized the mammalian mitochondrial proteome and applied it to identify dozens of mitochondrial disease genes. His team used integrative genomics to identify the molecular components of the mitochondrial calcium uniporter. His team has also made the unexpected discovery that in animal models, low oxygen can alleviate mitochondrial disease. As a postdoctoral fellow he developed [[Gene Set Enrichment Analysis]], an algorithm that is widely used in genomics and has been implemented into a popular software tool.
