Biography
Dr. Lucia Hindorff is the Lead Extramural Training Program Director in the Training, Diversity, and Health Equity (TiDHE) Office at the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI). She previously served as an epidemiologist and program director in NHGRI's Division of Genomic Medicine.
She received her M.P.H. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Washington, where her research focused on cardiovascular genetic epidemiology and motivating factors for using genetic tests in clinical care. At NHGRI, Dr. Hindorff was the lead Program Director for the Clinical Sequencing Evidence-Generating Research (CSER) program, a consortium to assess the clinical utility of genome sequencing in diverse settings and populations. Dr. Hindorff was also the project scientist for the Population Architecture using Genomics and Epidemiology (PAGE) program, a consortium formed to expand understanding of ancestral differences in genomic disease associations in large, diverse, well-characterized cohorts, and the NHGRI scientific lead for the online NHGRI Genome-wide Association Study catalog.
In her time at NHGRI, she has authored or co-authored over 100 publications and enjoys working with trainees and experienced investigators alike. In addition to managing her training portfolio, Dr. Hindorff is broadly interested in genomics and health equity, the integration of genomic tests into clinical care and building resilient teams.
