Biography

I’m particularly interested in the genetic and environmental determinants of common diseases and the translation of research into primary care and public health practice. At Cambridge I will pursue an MPhil in epidemiology to prepare for a career in genetic epidemiology and public health genetics. I hope to work with the CDC’s Center for Genomics & Disease Prevention or the National Human Genome Research Institute at the NIH to understand and resolve the complex genetic conditions of special populations. Next fall I will return to the United States to begin a PhD program in Human Genetics at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
