Nicole Gladish's background involves broad training from molecular biology techniques to bioinformatics. She received an Advanced Diploma from St. Lawrence College in Biotechnology, completed a BSc. in Biology from UBC, completed her PhD in Medical Genetics at UBC, and was a former student in the Kobor Lab. Her thesis research investigates the impact of early life adversity, such as low socioeconomic status and abuse, and how DNA methylation associates with these experiences to help understand why these individuals are predisposed to later life pro-inflammatory adverse health outcomes such as cardiovascular disease, type II diabetes and cancer. Nicole is currently a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University under Dr. David Rehkopf, an affiliate SEC member. Outside the lab she enjoys spending time with her husband and three small children, and reading whenever she gets the chance.
