معرفی
Ryan L Minster is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Human Genetics at the University of Pittsburgh's Graduate School of Public Health. He specializes in genetic epidemiology, focusing on complex traits such as body composition, cardiometabolic disease, obesity, and healthy aging.
- Education: PhD (Human Genetics), MSIS (University of Pittsburgh), BS (Molecular Biology)
Dr. Minster has collaborated extensively with researchers in Samoa, American Samoa, and New Zealand to study population-specific genetic determinants of metabolic traits. His work spans interdisciplinary approaches integrating bioinformatics, epigenetics, and clinical genetics.
Recent publications highlight methodological advancements in genomic data analysis (2023), population studies in Pacific Islanders (2016-2018), and biomedical investigations into skin biomechanics (2014) and exercise physiology (2017). Key research themes include genetic protection mechanisms, cardiometabolic risk stratification, and aging phenotypes.
