Meet the Team!
Elizabeth J. Leslie-Clarkson, PhD
Associate Professor of Human Genetics
Elizabeth received her BA from St. Olaf College in 2008, where she briefly studied population genetics of Minnesota turtle species. Thanks to a strong genetic predisposition for human genetics, she saw the light and has been studying human craniofacial phenotypes ever since. Elizabeth received her PhD in Genetics in 2012 from Jeff Murray's lab at the University of Iowa. At the University of Pittsburgh, she completed her postdoctoral training with Mary Marazita. She joined Emory University in 2017.
