Professional Bio
Freida Blostein, PhD, is a Research Fellow in the Division of Genetic Medicine, Department of Medicine, at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. As a molecular and genetic epidemiologist, she researches how environmental and social risk factors interact with genetic factors across the life course.
Dr. Blostein uses techniques from epidemiology, biostatistics, and bioinformatics to leverage genomic data in observational cohorts, with an emphasis on the creation of biomarkers. By developing biomarkers which explicitly acknowledge or incorporate environmental and social factors, her work helps to identify susceptible populations, develop targeted interventions, and address health disparities.
