Dr. Schlauch earned her Ph.D. in Mathematics from New Mexico State University in 1998. She completed her post-doctoral Fellowship in 2000 at the National Center for Genome Resources in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Her interest in the fields of human biostatistics and bioinformatics began with research at the human genetics research institute at DeCODE Genetics in Reykyavik, Iceland, and continued with genomics research in obesity and liver disease at George Mason University and INOVA Fairfax Hospital, as well as at the genotyping facility at the Boston University School of Medicine.
Dr. Schlauch’s current work involves providing developing new and robust mathematical and (bio)statistical tools to analyze large whole-genome datasets for researchers state-wide, including GWAS studies, next-generation experiments, and Mass Spectrometry studies.
