In this role, he played a key role in coordinating NHGRI's activities related to family health history and was the planning chair for the NIH Consensus Development Program's 2009 State of the Science Conference "Family History and Improving Health." He also participated in efforts to help ensure the appropriate representation of family health history and genomic data in electronic health records. Additionally, as chief of the Genomic Healthcare Branch in the Office of the Director he oversaw efforts to advance genomics education for health professional disciplines including nurses, physician assistants, physicians, and pharmacists.

Her research interests lie in mapping genes involved in susceptibility to type 2 diabetes and related complications, particularly related to lipids and cardiovascular disease, and clinical translation of emerging genetics findings into clinical uses. Her current major research efforts involve an National Human Genome Research Institute–funded implementation study of a program designed to screen for, diagnose, and promote individualized therapy for highly penetrant genetic forms of diabetes; studying gene x lifestyle/pharmaceutical interactions in the Diabetes Prevention Program (a multi-center, multi-ethnic clinical trial showing reduction in diabetes incidence using metformin or intensive lifestyle changes)
