She completed her postdoctoral fellowship in Pharmacogenetics at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and received her PhD in Molecular, Cellular, Developmental Biology and Genetics from the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities.
Dr. Ramsey is interested in all aspects of pharmacogenetics, from basic research to implementation in patient care. She has led projects to study pharmacogenetic variants that influence response, toxicity, and dosing of antidepressants, immunosuppressants, and chemotherapy in children. She has authored over 100 peer-reviewed manuscripts, hundreds of abstract presentations, and is extramurally funded, including a National Institutes of Health R01 award.
