Bethany Davis

Bethany Davis is a Research Assistant Professor at the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), specializing in the molecular effects of environmental toxicants and hyperglycemia on kidney function, with a focus on mutational signatures in Native American kidney cancer. She holds a Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences (2018).

Her research spans Nephrology, Cancer Genomics, and Environmental Health, emphasizing precision medicine applications for underserved populations. Recent publications highlight her work on:

• Mechanisms of adrenergic receptor signaling in neurological disorders
• Metabolic stress responses in renal epithelial cells
• Genomic markers in liver and kidney diseases
• Epigenetic regulation in NASH fibrosis
• Molecular longevity pathways

Dr. Davis aims to leverage genomic technologies to reduce health disparities among Native American communities through improved cancer diagnostics and therapeutics.
