Dr. Jennifer Ellen Posey

Dr. Posey is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Molecular and Human Genetics at Baylor College of Medicine. Her research interests lie in the relationship between genomic variation and clinical (phenotypic) expression and how this can be leveraged to develop individualized treatment approaches. Dr. Posey leads the Baylor College of Medicine Genomic Research to Elucidate the Genetics of Rare (BCM-GREGoR) research program which is part of a US National Institutes of Health-funded Consortium. As a physician scientist and a medical and human geneticist, her ultimate goal is to be able to translate our understanding of the relationship between an individual’s genotype and phenotype, or disease trait, into actionable and treatable information in the clinic.
