Hannah M. Poisner

I'm a PhD candidate in Human Genetics at Vanderbilt University, specializing in large-scale computational genomics and cloud infrastructure. My work focuses on understanding the genetic architecture of immune cell variation across diverse populations.

With experience spanning clinical diagnostics at the New York Genome Center and research at leading academic institutions, I bridge CLIA-certified clinical workflows with cutting-edge research methodologies. I've developed and deployed production-grade pipelines that have processed over 1 million whole genome sequences across major biobanks including All of Us, UK Biobank, and TOPMed.

My approach combines rigorous statistical genetics with scalable cloud computing, enabling discoveries that translate to real-world health impacts. As a first-author in Nature Communications and contributor to multiple high-impact studies, I'm driven by the potential of genomics to transform our understanding of human health and disease.
