Biography
Dr. Ritchie is a statistical and computational geneticist with a focus on understanding genetic architecture of complex human disease. She has expertise in developing novel bioinformatics tools for complex analysis of big data in genetics, genomics, and clinical databases, in particular in the area of Pharmacogenomics. Dr. Ritchie has received several awards and honors including selection as a Genome Technology Rising Young Investigator in 2006, an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellow in 2010, and a KAVLI Frontiers of Science fellow by the National Academy of Science from 2011-2014. Dr. Ritchie has extensive experience in all aspects of genetic epidemiology and translational bioinformatics as it relates to human genomics. She also has extensive expertise in dealing with big data and complex analysis including GWAS, next-generation sequencing, CNVs, data integration of meta-dimensional omics data, Phenome-wide Association Studies (PheWAS), and development of data visualization approaches.
Session Abstract – PMWC 2020 Silicon Valley
Track 5 - January 22 1.00 P.M.-1.45 P.M.
There are many challenges to overcome to make health and genome sequence data part of routine health care: regulatory and reimbursement aspects, infrastructure requirements, or the challenges of ordering the tests and making the results available to the physician. This session will focus on some of these issues.
