Get to know Melissa A. Richard, PhD
Dr. Melissa Richard is a genetic epidemiologist with a focus on using integrative, modern genetic-based approaches to uncover the molecular basis of disease. She has a particular focus on using multi-omic measures to characterize cardiometabolic traits as both a cause and consequence of health outcomes.
Her current work uses genetic epidemiologic techniques to uncover the molecular basis of disrupted metabolism in survivors of childhood cancer, as well as the influence of metabolic traits on human development.
She is also interested in understanding the altered mechanisms that contribute to the development of certain congenital anomalies, such as hypospadias.
