I received my B.S. in Chemistry from Dillard University in my hometown of New Orleans, and one of my M.S. degrees in Biochemistry and Biophysics from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. My Ph.D. research focused on computational models of phytoestrogens, mycoestrogens, and Diethylstilbestrol derivates as estrogens. My researched earned me my degree from Tulane University, also located in my hometown.
I joined the Section on Statistical Genetics in June 2009. My research interests include genetic inheritance of various disorders, protein structure prediction, and drug development from environmental compounds.
