Jeanette C. Papp

Jeanette C. Papp is an Adjunct Professor and Department Vice Chair in the Department of Human Genetics at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Her academic contributions span statistical genetics, genetic epidemiology, and computational biology, with a focus on gene-environment interactions in cancer and metabolic disorders.

Her research interests include:

• Genetic variants in glucose metabolism and their role in cancer risk
• Computational tools for genetic analysis (e.g., OpenMendel software)
• Ancestry-informative markers in biobank-scale studies
• Mendelian randomization applied to colorectal and breast cancer
• Interdisciplinary education initiatives like Bruins-in-Genomics
• Conservation genetics of endangered species (e.g., California Condor)

Dr. Papp’s publications highlight collaborations across oncology, epidemiology, and computational genetics, though no formal mentoring roles, awards, or educational history are mentioned in the provided text.
