Dara Torgerson, PhD, MSc
Associate Professor
I co-lead the Torgerson-Hernandez Lab (THeLab) along with Dr. Ryan Hernandez at UCSF. Our group is focused on developing computational approaches to study the interplay between human evolutionary history and environmental contributions to complex disease in the context of genetic ancestry. My background is in population genetics and bioinformatics, and I have specific expertise in integrative genomic and metabolomic studies of respiratory disease in diverse human populations.
