Summary
Marijana Vujković is an Assistant Professor and Principal Scientist with 11 years of experience at the interface of genomics, epidemiology, and biostatistics, currently leading whole-exome and GWAS analyses of cardiovascular and cardiometabolic traits in large-scale cohorts including the Million Veteran Program and the Pakistani Genomic Resource. Her background blends a PhD in Nutritional Epidemiology and a BSc in Computer Science (bioinformatics), enabling rigorous study design, RCT data management, and scalable genomic analyses. At the University of Pennsylvania and the VA she has driven high-impact cardiometabolic genetics projects—translating complex genomic data into clinically relevant insights. She is fluent in computational genomics workflows and statistical methods, with hands-on experience from postdoctoral research at CHOP and Erasmus MC. Notably, she pairs deep methodological training with practical implementation across diverse ancestry cohorts, improving the translatability of genetic findings.
