Yann Klimentidis, PhD is a genetic epidemiologist, focused primarily on cardiometabolic traits and diseases. My research group uses genetic and epigenetic information to: 1) understand disease pathophysiology, 2) understand the origins of health disparities, 3) individually tailor treatment and prevention approaches, and 4) improve prediction of disease risk.
