I earned my Ph.D at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the toxicogenomics lab of Ivan Rusyn, where I studied the effects of genetic diversity on gene expression. I then worked at the Jackson Laboratory in Gary Churchill's group, where I developed and applied analytical methods for genetically diverse mice. I developed the first tools for haplotype reconstruction and genetic mapping in Diversity Outbred (J:DO) mice and have been involved in many projects that use J:DO mice. I currently work on tools and educational materials to help investigators use genetically diverse mice in their research.
