Ashley Adjetey, PhD

Insight, Innovation, Impact

I am an established genetics scientist with a passion to see increased ethnic diversity in genomics. I have a strong background in genetic epidemiology with expertise in shaping the development of QC frameworks for genetic data products, leading the analysis of an eczema GWAS meta-analysis for a large international collaboration, and advising on the methodology of external multi-ancestry studies.
