Bio
Lindsay M. Reynolds, PhD, is a genetic epidemiologist focused on improving human health by developing biomarkers and identifying targets for early disease detection and intervention strategies, with a focus on nutrition and epigenomics. She is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Prevention at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. She holds degrees in applied physics (BS, Appalachian State University), and pharmaceutical sciences and pharmacogenomics (PhD, University of California San Francisco). Dr. Reynolds gained post-doctoral training in nutrition and aging biology (Research Education Core Scholar, Wake Forest School of Medicine Claude D. Pepper Older Americans Independence Center). She has experience performing integrative multi-omic analyses in human cohort studies and clinical trials, evaluating the epigenome as an interface between genetics, aging biology, diet, lifestyle, and health.
