Congrats, Dr. Lake!
Who: Lake, Allison, PhD
Department: Human Genetics
PI Mentor: Lea Davis
Research: My research focuses on leveraging electronic health records-linked biobanks to evaluate gene-by-environment interactions contributing to psychiatric conditions.
Vanderbilt Impact:
“The BioVU and Synthetic Derivative resources through VICTR were invaluable resources for my research. The collegial and collaborative atmosphere of the Vanderbilt Genetics Institute, as well as the longitudinal support I’ve received from my mentor and the Medical Scientist Training Program, have been instrumental to my training and development as a scientist. I also had the opportunity to complete a self-designed research experience with a collaborative lab in Boston, thanks to the Graduate Leadership Institute Dissertation Enhancement Grant I received. “
Post-PhD Plans: Returning for my final year of medical school and applying to psychiatry residency programs (I am an MD/PhD student)
