Lauren is a graduate student in the Translational and Integrative Sciences Lab working on projects in data harmonization and ontology curation. Lauren works on a wide array of ontologies including the Mondo Disease Ontology and the Environmental Conditions, Treatments, and Exposures Ontology (ECTO). Lauren’s thesis projects are focused on encoding heterogeneous, self-reported dietary and environmental exposures data to evaluate associations with female reproductive disorders and other health outcomes. Lauren is trained as a registered dietitian, having earned her B.S. in Dietetics from Oregon State and her M.S. in Family and Consumer Sciences at Illinois State, where she completed her dietetic internship.
