Employee Highlight
Recently, Jessica Peterson, PhD, attended the Annual CHEST conference held in Boston, MA. Dr. Peterson, a health science specialist with NFFRE, delivered presentations on the genetic underpinnings of pulmonary diseases in U.S. Veterans. This is just some of the work that she has been conducting with Dr. Diana Gomez, a physician within the NF/SG VHA network. Dr. Peterson presented a poster titled "Unraveling Sarcoidosis: Genomic Insights from U.S. Veterans of African and European Descent," which explored genetic factors associated with sarcoidosis, a complex inflammatory disease.
More information about Dr. Peterson's work can be found on the Kudos page.
