Supervisor Cytogenetics
Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center
Lauren is currently the supervisor of the Cytogenetics Laboratory and is involved in research and development in the Laboratory of Clinical Genomics and Advanced Technology at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. She recently finished the Molecular Diagnostics Fellowship in the Clinical Genomics and Advanced Technologies Laboratory at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. In her current position, she is active in overseeing the clinical testing in the cytogenetics laboratory, ensuring regulatory compliance, and the day-to-day laboratory function. Lauren’s research responsibilities include designing experiments, writing IRB proposals, obtaining clinical samples and obtaining data for studies in hematology, metagenomics, and long read sequencing technology.
Before coming to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, Lauren obtained her PhD in Molecular and Cell Biology from University of Connecticut in 2022. During her PhD, Lauren applied nascent RNA sequencing methods to examine enhancer function in diseases such as Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma. She learned both bench techniques and computational analysis.
