Tess Cherlin, PhD

Research Area:
I do my postdoc research in the Setia-Verma lab (https://setia-vermalab.org/). We use computational approaches to study precision medicine. By leveraging large datasets, we aim to link genetic, biological, and environmental variables to phenotypes to uncover patterns in disease risk, diagnosis, and prognosis. My main project investigates how genetics, medication, and other covariates influences the long-term cardiovascular outcomes for women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).
