Henry (he/him) is a PhD candidate in Genetic Epidemiology at the University of Cambridge. Supported by the NIH Oxford-Cambridge Scholars Program and Gates Cambridge Scholars Program, Henry’s doctoral research aims to combine his interests in human disease and global health inequities to study the genetic basis of type 2 diabetes (T2D) across diverse ancestries. Ultimately, he hopes that his doctoral research will enhance the treatment and prevention of T2D for all people. Prior to graduate school, Henry received his BS in computational biology from Duke University. After graduating in 2018, he briefly worked as a software engineer in the DC area before joining the NIH as a postbaccalaureate IRTA fellow. Outside of the lab, Henry will use any excuse he can to be outdoors. As a result, unlike most people who choose to be remarkably skilled at a few activities, Henry is remarkably average at many activities. He particularly enjoys hiking, camping, and traveling to new places.
