Professional Statement
I am an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics who uses integrative genetic epidemiologic approaches to uncover the molecular basis of pediatric conditions. My current work focuses on using genetic and epigenetic data to identify risk factors for key conditions during child development, including cancer and birth defects. By leveraging genetic and epigenetic measures, I aim to gain a better understanding of the underlying biology of pediatric cancer and other key outcomes.Websites
