Interned during the conclusion of my undergrad, working on projects for the clinical genomics team. Under instruction of Kambiz Karimi I worked through excel files of curated papers, separating variant data of genes of the foresight test into ethnic groups. This work allowed for a more accurate significance value in certain populations when testing for pathogenic genotypes.
