Clinician Investigator
National Human Genome Research Institute, National Institutes of Health
Dr. Hanchard recently joined NGHRI as the head of the Childhood Complex Disease Genomics Section. Dr. Hanchard leads efforts to use genomic and genetic tools to understand complex pediatric diseases and traits in diverse populations including sickle cell disease, severe childhood malnutrition, pediatric HIV in Africa and childhood-onset essential hypertension. Dr. Hanchard's program aims to understand the molecular mechanisms that lead to the formation of these diseases and to catalog relevant genes, biological pathways, and mechanisms related to each disease. Eventually, the outcome of these studies promise to help researchers develop practical therapeutic strategies.
