Genomic Medicine
Studying how genomic sequencing can be integrated into clinical care for healthy individuals and families.
Welcome
Welcome! I am an Associate Professor of Population Medicine at the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute and Harvard Medical School, and Associate Director of the Precision Medicine Translational Research Center (PROMoTeR). My research focuses on the clinical, behavioral, and economic impact of genomic medicine, with an emphasis on integrating genomic sequencing into health care in ways that improve patient outcomes and inform health policy.

Congratulations and thank you to Madison Hickingbotham, who presented LIVING Study findings at the 2026 ELSICon Meeting as a talk titled, "Reimagining newborn screening: ideal program design envisioned by public health laboratory professionals, clinicians, and researchers." Public health labs are critical to state newborn screening programs and whether/how such programs integrate genomic testing!

I'm delighted to announce that our research team will be collaborating on the newly funded study titled PopScreen, short for Population Genomic Screening in Primary Care. This effort is one of a network of NIH-funded programs to develop and evaluate scalable approaches to offering population-based genetic testing to broad adult populations.
