Professor Lewin's current research interests are in the area of mammalian comparative and functional genomics. His research has resulted in the development of high-density comparative maps for the cattle, human and other mammalian genomes, and novel software for in silico gene mapping using the human genome as a template. In addition, his group produced the first large-scale cDNA microarray and oligoarray for functional genomics of ruminants, which have been applied to a systems level analysis of embryonic development and diet-genotype interactions.
