Ms. Junkins is a health science analyst in the Office of Population Genomics, National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), joining NHGRI in 2007. She received her M.S. in biomedical anthropology from the State University of New York at Binghamton, where her research focused on examining the biological and social issues surrounding disease in a community-level project. She is currently working on several projects: consensus measures of Phenotypes and Exposures (PhenX), and Population Architecture of Genes and Environment (PAGE). She is also one of the curators of the NHGRI Genome-wide Association Studies Catalog.

Dr. Li is a genetic epidemiologist and serves as the program director for the electronic Medical Records and Genomics (eMERGE) Network. She has a longstanding interest in genetic/genomic research on complex diseases and phenotypes, and gene-gene, gene-environment and gene-drug interactions.

Before Dr. Li came to the United States in 1991, she was working at the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (Beijing) and the Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine (Beijing). She completed her post-doctoral training at Glaxo and her residency at Glaxo-Wellcome. She worked at Rho, a biostatistics consulting firm/contract research organization (Chapel Hill, N.C.).

Dr. Li was on the faculty of Morehouse School of Medicine (Atlanta) and was a tenured professor at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center within the Department of Preventive Medicine, and Center for Genomics and Bioinformatics (Memphis, Tenn.) before joining the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) in 2009.

Dr. Li taught genetic epidemiology and was a mentor to graduate students, junior faculty members and clinicians. Dr. Li has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal articles and abstracts. She is also an associate editor of the American Journal of Epidemiology.

Dr. Manolio is Director of the Office of Population Genomics, National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) and Senior Advisor to the Director, NHGRI, for Population Genomics. She received her M.D. from the University of Maryland and her Ph.D. in human genetics and genetic epidemiology from Johns Hopkins University.

In 1987, Dr. Manolio joined the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute where she was heavily involved in large-scale cohort studies such as the Cardiovascular Health Study and the Framingham Heart Study. She joined NHGRI in 2005 to lead efforts in applying genomic technologies to population research, including the Genes and Environment Initiative (GEI), the Electronic Medical Records and Genetics (eMERGE) Network, and the NHGRI Genome-Wide Association Catalog.

Dr. Manolio also maintains an active appointment on the in-patient medical service of the National Naval Medical Center, Bethesda, Md. and is on the faculty of the University Services University of the Health Sciences as Professor of Medicine. She is the author of over 200 original research papers and has research interests in genome-wide association studies of complex diseases and ethnic differences in disease risk.

Ian Marpuri is a scientific program analyst for the Office of Population Genomics at NHGRI. Ian joined NHGRI in 2011 and is the primary program analyst for the Electronic Medical Records and Genomics (eMERGE) Network and Gene Environment Association Studies (GENEVA) consortium, a part of the Genes, Environment & Health Initiative (GEI).

Before joining NHGRI, Ian graduated from Yale University in 2011 with a B.S. in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and a B.A. in Classics (Latin). While attending Yale, Ian worked as a research assistant for the Yale Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology where he studied levels of insecticide resistance genes in mosquito populations in response to spraying campaigns, as well as the role of the bacterial endosymbiont Wigglesworthia in Human African Trypanosomiasis transmission.

Dr. Erin Ramos is an epidemiologist in the Office of Population Genomics, National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI). She received her M.P.H. and Ph.D. in the multidisciplinary field of public health genetics from the University of Washington where her research focused on the genetic epidemiology of Alzheimer's disease and the ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) that surround genomics research.

Dr. Ramos manages a portfolio of research in population genomics including a collaborative project to develop a set of standardized phenotypic and exposure measures for use in genome-wide association studies and related research. She serves as the chair of the Data Access Committee (DAC) for the Genetic Association Information Network (GAIN) and as a member of NHGRI's DAC.
