Biography

Joanne Lind's research focus is human genetics and cardiovascular disease. In 2007 she was awarded an NHMRC Peter Doherty Fellowship to study genes and gender in cardiovascular disease. She previously held the title of Clinical Lecturer through the Faculty of Medicine, University of Sydney, and was a Visiting Fellow at the National Institutes of Health, USA where she studied genetic susceptibility to HIV infection and progression to AIDS. She has trained at the University College of London in statistics and haplotype analysis and continues to study how genetic variation modifies disease phenotype. During her career she has received a number of awards that have recognised her research and teaching potential, and accomplishments. Joanne is a member of the Human Genetics Society of Australasia and an affiliate member of the Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand.
