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.
