Computational biologist\, Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research \nMarkia Smith is a computational biologist at Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research\, driven by her overarching goal to directly impact and enhance clinical outcomes through omics analyses and Ethical\, Legal\, and Social Implications (ELSI). Leveraging her expertise in cancer genetics/genomics\, computational biology\, and epidemiology\, her current role involves determining the effects of genomic alterations and developing/discovering genomic determinants of response therapy. \nMarkia earned her PhD in Pathobiology and Translational Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\, building upon her Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry with a minor in Chinese Studies from the University of Delaware. Under the mentorship of Drs. Katherine A. Hoadley and Melissa A. Troester\, her research focused on employing integrative genomic approaches to investigate genetic and environmental determinants of cancer\, with a particular emphasis on understanding health disparities in historically marginalized populations. \nBeyond her scientific endeavors\, Markia is deeply committed to mentoring students in the STEM field\, especially within the realms of health and disability equity. Outside of her professional pursuits\, Markia is a passionate foodie\, traveler\, and avid lifter\, finding joy in exploring new cuisines\, cultures\, and fitness routines. \n  \nClick here to register.\nQuestions?
