Pooja Middha, PhD, MPH, MBBS, is a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Medicine at UCSF and received NHLBI TOPMed fellowship to characterize the genetic architecture of gene expression across diverse populations, with a focus on leveraging rare variants. Her research investigates the genetic factors underlying cancer susceptibility and outcomes, with a focus on bridging the gap between genomics and clinical applications.
