Kristen Wade, PhD

Postdoc Scholar - Employee
Neurology

Kristen Wade obtained her Bachelor’s of Science in Bioinformatics at Virginia Commonwealth University and her PhD in Human Medical Genetics and Genomics at CU Denver-Anschutz. Her research involves characterization of genomic variation within the major histocompatibility locus, performing disease association within this region to describe sites that may influence risk of Multiple Sclerosis and in silico functional predictions. In addition to her research, she is interested in exploring the intersection of art, science and community. She spends her free time salsa dancing, running, hiking and camping.
