Day 3 of #PHGW2025! Meet Kelsey, who's completing her master’s thesis on gene-environment interactions and their impact on telomere length. This fall, she’ll be taking the next big step by joining our department as a Ph.D. student! Congrats, Kelsey! 👏🎓 #StudentSpotlight #PublicHealthGenetics
Day 2 of #PHGW2025! Today we’re spotlighting Nikhita, a 3rd-year PhD Candidate using bioinformatics and health economics to improve rare disease diagnostics. 🧬 She recently co-authored the first paper from the 1000 Genomes-ONT sequencing consortium 👏 #StudentSpotlight #PublicHealthGenetics
The heading of this image reads "Institute for Public Health Genetics, Public Health Week - Student Highlight". Jiachen Zhang is pictured in a collared shirt and sweater, smiling at the camera. He has short, dark hair. His bio reads "Jiachen is a first year PhD student in Public Health Genetics at UW. His research focuses on the genetic epidemiology and architecture of common cancers, with the ultimate goal of translating genomic insights into enhanced cancer prediction and prevention. He is interested in exploring the genetic background and pleiotropy effects across common cancers, and actively advocated for greater diversity in genetic research."
🎉🧬 It's Public Health Genetics Week!🧬 🎉
This #PHGW2025, we’re spotlighting the incredible students of IPHG! Meet Jiachen—a PhD student advancing cancer genomics and advocating for diversity in research. Stay tuned for more student spotlights this week!
