The Perera Lab
Meet the Lab
Lab Manager
Cristina is a PhD scientist who keep our lab running smoothly. She is involved in all aspect of our lab, from organization to methods development.
Graduate Student
Anmol joined the lab in June of 2023. He is working on predicitive models of drug response and disease in African American
Carolina (CC) Clark
Graduate Student
CC joined the lab in June of 2021. She will work on elucidating genetic and transcriptomic drivers of drug metabolism in African Americans.
Guang Yang PhD
Postdoctoral Fellow
Dr. Yang will be using multi-omic data in African American collected through the ACCouNT Consortium to examine SNP and gene base signals associated with drug response and disease risk. Translation of pharmacogenomics into clinical care requires rigorous discovery efforts such as these to bring precision medicine to all.
Mrinal Mishra PhD
Bioinformatic Analyst
Mrinal will use machine learning methods employing our African American multi-omic data from multiple cohorts to better predict gene expression and drug response.
Kate Carver
Undergraduate Student
Kate has been improving her computation skills and analysis methods whille working on our multi-omic data in hepatocytes.
