Katherine Snowden Pollard is a Professor at the Gladstone Institute of data science and biotechnology at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF).[1][3][4] She was awarded Fellowship of the International Society for Computational Biology in 2020 for outstanding contributions to computational biology and bioinformatics.[5][6]
Education
Pollard received a B.A. from Pomona College and an M.S. from the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). She was awarded a Ph.D. in 2003 from UC Berkeley for research supervised by Mark van der Laan.[7][2]
Career and research
Pollard is a leader in developing statistical models and open-source software for big data, especially in genomics.[8][9] Pollard and her team pioneered the identification the fastest-evolving regions of the human genome, known as human accelerated regions (HARs).[10][11] Pollard has also designed methods to study the human microbiome[12][13] and other microbial communities, these studies set the stage for using metagenomics in precision medicine.
Prior to working at UCSF, she held a postdoctoral research position with Sandrine Dudoit at Berkeley and worked with David Haussler at Santa Cruz.[10]
