Visiting PostdocI am a geneticist and biomedical informatician. During my doctoral work in Human Genetics at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN, I began to explore using electronic health records (EHR) as a data source for genetic and clinical studies. My dissertation focused on the potential and limitations of phenome-wide approaches in the EHR. After receiving my PhD in 2016, I transitioned to an appointment in the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center where I was a fellow on the American Heart Association Strategic Focused Research Network project there. My research focus was on identifying cardiovascular and metabolic phenotypes in the EHR and using them for downstream analyses to understand disease heterogeneity in clinical data. In 2019, I joined the Schultz group in General Internal Medicine and Psychosomatics in collaboration with the Saez-Rodriguez group at UniversitätsKlinikum Heidelberg as part of the Informatics for Life consortium. My work will focus on understanding comorbidities of heart failure through clinical data analysis and integration with omics data sources.
