Sam Tischfield (2006-2008)
Sam joined the Hirshhorn lab in the summer of 2006 as a lab informaticist and technician after graduating from Rutgers College with a B.S. in Computer Science and a B.A. in Genetics. Some of his projects included the creation of the 50k IBC Snp Array, identification of HIV susceptability variants, fine mapping of the Lactase region, and creation of numerous bioinformatics tools. He is currently a Ph.D candidate in Computational Biology at Cornell.

Katie Campbell (2003-2007)
Catarina (Katie) Campbell joined the lab in 2003 as a student in the Biological and Biomedical Sciences (BBS) program at Harvard Medical School. Katie graduated cum laude from UCLA in 2001 with a B.S. in Biochemistry. During her time in the lab, Katie worked on several projects including analyzing population stratification in European-derived populations, candidate gene studies of obesity and type 2 diabetes, and the genetics of allele-specific gene expression in mice. She received her Ph.D. in Genetics in 2007 with her dissertation work entitled, "Implications of population structure and regulatory variation on genetic association studies." After leaving the lab, she worked as a Group Leader in the Center for Cancer Genome Discovery (CCGD) at Dana Farber Cancer Institute before starting a post-doc with Evan Eichler at the University of Washington in Seattle.

Jared Drake (2001-2006)
Jared joined the lab in 2001 after graduating from Williams College with B.A.s in Biology and Political Science. Jared was a hired as a bioinformatician and developed the bioinformatics infrastructure necessary for the research performed in the Hirschhorn lab. He also led collaborative projects looking for evidence of selective pressure in conserved noncoding regions (CNCs) of the human genome and the efficiency of haplotype tagging SNPs. Jared is currently pursuing a joint MBA/MPH at UC Berkeley.
