Caitlin UrenDr. Caitlin Uren currently works in the fields of human population genetics, bioinformatics, and communicable and noncommunicable diseases. Her initial research focused on identifying and characterizing genetic population structure in southern Africa human populations. This information was then used in the development of novel computational pipelines. In addition, she has been involved in the analysis of next-generation sequencing data with the goal to provide a molecular diagnosis to patients with suspected genetic disorders. She is currently involved in numerous projects that encompass data repositories, bioethics, bioinformatics, pharmacogenetics, and population genetics. As an early-career researcher, it is her goal to further the human genetics field in Africa and to teach and guide the next generation of scientists. Read More Read Less
