Education

Ph.D. Case Western Reserve University

Biography

Dr. Lisa Chadwick joined the National Human Genome Research Institute’s Extramural Research Program as a program director in 2018. Dr. Chadwick oversees a diverse portfolio of research grants, which include the development of novel approaches for mendelian gene discovery and the prioritization or evaluation of candidate variants, and the development of high-throughput genomic technologies related to gene expression or RNA regulation. She also oversees NHGRI’s GREGoR Program, which is working to develop new approaches to identify the causal variant in rare genetic disorders where strategies such as whole exome sequencing were not successful.   

Prior to joining NHGRI, Dr. Chadwick was a program director in the Division of Extramural Research and Training at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) where she was involved in the leadership of the NIH Roadmap Epigenomics Program, and the NIH 4D Nucleosome Program

Dr. Chadwick received a B.A. in biology from Case Western Reserve University, a Ph.D. in genetics from Case Western Reserve University, and completed postdoctoral research at NIEHS.
