个人简介
Laura Scott is a Research Professor in the Department of Biostatistics. She received her PhD in Cell Biology from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine (1993) and an MPH in Epidemiology from the University of Michigan School of Public Health (1995). She then worked on breast cancer epidemiology at Michigan State University and the genetic epidemiology of complications of type 1 diabetes at the Joslin Diabetes Center. She began work in statistical genetics at the University of Michigan in 2000 as a postdoctoral fellow and joined the Department of Biostatistics faculty in 2003.
Dr. Scott is the Chair of the Biostatistics Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee and is active in other University and Community-based organizations that seek to increase a sense of belonging, racial equity and social justice.
The goal of Dr. Scott's work is to understand the factors that regulate gene expression levels and influence the regulatory environment in T2D-related tissues, including muscle, adipose and pancreatic islets. Dr. Scott's research focuses on variability in mRNA, miRNA, metabolites and methylation levels by sex, T2D-related phenotypes and genotypes (eQTLs, miQTL, meQTL) within bulk skeletal muscle and subcutaneous adipose tissue data. Within muscle single cell data, she works to understand what causes differences in cell-type expression levels (RNA-seq) and regulatory region accessibility (ATAC-Seq) by sex, T2D-related phenotypes and genotype. Dr. Scott leads studies to identify genetic variants that increase the risk of common diseases, including type 2 diabetes, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, with emphasis on analysis in African American sample. She develops methods to identify disease-associated variants and analyze experimental data.
