👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrooke Wolford is a statistical geneticist and Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow with 11 years of research experience, holding a PhD in Bioinformatics and an MA in Statistics. She leads her own research program at the Oslo Center for Biostatistics and Epidemiology while advising clinical researchers and holding concurrent roles focused on proteomics and cardio-oncology at the University of Oslo and NTNU. Her work bridges large-scale biobank-linked proteomics (including FinnGen) and genetic score integration to build protein-based risk predictors for cardiovascular disease, with a particular emphasis on sex-specific risk in women. Previously supported by the NSF GRFP and NHGRI training programs, she combines rigorous statistical training with hands-on computational genomics from NIH to academic consortia. Colleagues value her ability to translate complex harmonization and integrative genomics methods into actionable clinical research tools.
