Corina joined NHGRI in 2009 and will be the primary program analyst for the Genetic Association Information Network (GAIN) and the Genome-Wide Association Studies of Treatment Response in Randomized Clinical Trials Program (GWAS-TR).

Before joining NHGRI, Corina graduated from Dartmouth College in 2009 with a B.A. in biology. While attending Dartmouth, Corina worked as a research assistant in the Genetics department at Dartmouth Medical School where she studied the role of Mixed Lineage Leukemia (MLL) target genes in embryogenesis and hematopoiesis.

Lin Gyi is a scientific program analyst in the Office of Population Genomics, National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), joining in June 2009. She received her B.A. in biology from Swarthmore College in 2009. Lin is currently the lead program analyst on the Genes, Environment & Health Initiative (GEI) and the electronic Medical Records and Genomics (eMERGE) Network.

While a student at Swarthmore, Lin was a research assistant in Professor Scott Gilbert's developmental biology laboratory. This group worked to discover and catalog a unique population of neural crest cells in the development of an evolutionary novelty, the Trachemys scripta (Red Eared Slider) plastron. Lin's other research interests include gene x environment interactions and ecological evolutionary developmental biology ("eco-evo-devo").

Dr. Hindorff is an epidemiologist in the Office of Population Genomics at NHGRI. She received her M.P.H. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Washington, where her research focused on cardiovascular genetic epidemiology and motivating factors for using genetic tests in clinical care. At NHGRI, Dr. Hindorff is the project scientist for the Population Architecture using Genomics and Epidemiology (PAGE) program, a cooperative agreement to better characterize promising genetic variants from genome-wide association studies in large and well-phenotyped population-based cohorts. She also curates the online NHGRI Genome-wide Association Study catalog. Her research interests include pharmacogenetics, the integration of genetic tests into clinical care and practical issues related to large epidemiological studies.

Ms. Junkins is a scientific program 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), the electronic Medical Records and Genomics (eMERGE) Network, 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 project director for the electronic Medical Records and Genomics (eMERGE) Network. Dr. Li has a longstanding interest in genetic/genomic research on complex diseases and phenotypes, and gene-gene and gene-environment interactions. Before joining the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), Dr. Li was a tenured professor at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center within the Department of Preventive Medicine, and Center for Genomics and Bioinformatics. Dr. Li 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 in 1980 and her Ph.D. in human genetics and genetic epidemiology from Johns Hopkins University in 2001.

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 Genetic Association Information Network (GAIN) and the Genes and Environment Initiative (GEI).

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 190 original research papers and has research interests in the epidemiology of subclinical cardiovascular disease, ethnic differences in disease risk and genome-wide association studies of complex diseases.

Lisa McNeil is a scientific program analyst in the Office of Population Genomics, National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI). Ms. McNeil joined NHGRI in July 2007, and is currently the lead program analyst working on the Genetic Association Information Network (GAIN), and the GAIN Data Access Committee (DAC).

While attending Penn State, Ms. McNeil worked as an assistant in Dr. Ross Hardison's laboratory, where she performed comparative genomics experiments. Her research interests include genetic epidemiology of common complex diseases such as cardiovascular disease and autoimmune disorders. She is also interested in the ethical and legal components of human subjects' research.

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. Her research interests include the genetic epidemiology of dementia, genome-wide association studies and gene-environment interactions in complex disease, and ELSI research including informed consent for large-scale genomic studies.
