    Research in our group is highly collaborative, with broad research opportunities for exploring the genetic and environmental architecture of complex traits in diseases such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, neurodevelopmental/psychiatric disorders, pharmacogenomic traits, as well as health disparities in childhood.

    The approaches we explore involve the development and application of statistical and computational methods with a focus on the detection of gene-gene interactions, gene-environment interactions, deep phenotyping with advanced imaging and image analytics, integrating genomic and metabolomics data, and network and/or pathway effects associated with human disease.

    Typically work under direct and frequent supervision while performing routine duties using established procedures with detailed instructions.


    The Hall Lab at Penn State University is focused on building tools to elucidate the complex genetic and environmental underpinnings of human disease.

    We integrate genetic and exposure (derived from surveys and metabolomics methods) big data to predict disease status.

    The ultimate goals of this work are to enrich our understanding of the complex mechanisms that lead to common disease and provide methods to identify those most at risk of disease (based on their genetic and exposure backgrounds) in a clinical setting.

    For more information please visit or contact Dr. Molly Hall Please upload CV/resume and cover letter along with the online application.
