About me

I am a postdoctoral research fellow in the Snyder Laboratory, Department of Genetics, School of Medicine at Stanford University. My work focuses on applying the latest multiomics and precision health technologies to the study of complex disease. I am also a research associate with the U.S. Department of Veteran's Affairs.

I earned my PhD in Epidemiology and a Certificate in Bioinformatics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, advised by Drs. Corinne Engelman and Qiongshi Lu. My dissertation demonstrated the feasibility of a genomics-based approach to study the relationship of scarce omics (CSF metabolomics) with health and disease. Throughout my time at UW-Madison, I worked on a wide range of epidemiological studies, including efforts to address risk factors of rheumatoid arthritis through electronic health records systems, gene expression patterns in sulfa drug allergies, tissue-based polygenic risk scores for markers of neurodegeneration, the CSF proteomics of Alzheimer's disease, and the genomics of plasma metabolite levels.
