I’m a researcher interested in statistical genetics, complex traits, statistical rigor and allergic disorders. I work with various collaborators to evaluate how genetics may contribute to patient outcomes. These outcomes could be one or more allergic conditions or how an individual recovers after an injury.
I have always loved numbers, and the field of genetics fascinates me. Working in the field of statistical genetics allows me to combine these interests. I have been a researcher for over 25 years and began working at Cincinnati Children’s in 2002.
I am very proud of my work on congenital heart malformations. We have shown that these malformations can be due to the combinations of multiple genes supporting the role of complex inheritance. Beyond genetics, I’m excited about the opportunity to ensure that we reach out to other communities to share our work.
