Oona Shigeno Risse-Adams
Oona is a Ph.D. student in Computational Biology at Cornell University with a strong foundation in Statistics from UC Berkeley. In the past, I've worked on projects in population and statistical genetics, exploring areas such as asthma susceptibility in admixed populations, drug response variations, and more. In the Sinnott-Armstrong lab I work on problems in statistical genetics, particularly differences in trait and disease outcomes in the context of GxE interactions. I’m passionate about leveraging computational tools to advance our understanding of complex traits and improve health outcomes.
