Baltimore, Maryland

Branch Chief and Senior Investigator

I have a Ph.D. in Medical Genetics with a minor in Biomathematics. I have worked as a statistical geneticist searching for genes that affect risk of complex disorders such as cancer, oral clefts, eye diseases for over 25 years. I am a Branch Chief at the National Human Genome Research Institute, National Institutes of Health and an Adjunct Professor at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. After grad school in Indiana I married Alec Wilson who I met at Western Maryland College (also a geneticist) and we lived and worked in New Orleans for 16 years before moving back to Baltimore to work at NIH. We have two children, Lauren, 23 who is currently in grad school at Hopkins in Infectious Disease
