She is a NIH K08 funded physician-scientist whose research is focused on functional -omics studies of cardiometabolic and kidney diseases. Her group focuses on (1) the role of RNA biology in mechanisms of lipid metabolism, atherosclerosis, and renal fibrosis and (2) functional interrogation of the molecular mechanisms by which novel genes identified through human genetics studies impact disease phenotypes. Outside of work, she loves spending time playing with her beagle Penelope and her beagle-basset Calvin, enjoying introvert time on her Kindle, and bragging about her Texan roots, and eating her way through Chicago. @jenniejlin
