As a cardiovascular disease (CVD) epidemiologist and Carolina Population Center fellow, my research interests span genomics, gene-environment interaction, and causal inference. Recently I have extended these research interests to include metabolomics, bioactive lipids, and ‘omics more broadly. I also teach graduate courses on epidemiologic data analysis and cardiovascular disease epidemiology. Finally, I lead the CV epidemiology program area and co-lead the CV genetic epidemiology computational laboratory
