Biography
Dr. Greenwood received her B.S. in molecular biology
from the University of California, San Diego and
subsequently earned her Ph.D. from the Biomedical Sciences
Program of the UCSD in 2002 with a specialization in
Psychiatric Genetics. As a Project Scientist in the
Department of Psychiatry at UCSD, she augmented her
molecular genetics background with training in applied
statistical genetics methodologies under the supervision of
Dr. Nicholas Schork. Dr. Greenwood joined the faculty at
UCSD in 2007. She is currently an Assistant Adjunct
Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and the Associate
Chief of the Genetics and Genomics Unit of the San Diego VA
Center of Excellence for Stress and Mental Health (CESAMH). Research Focus
Dr. Greenwood’s research focuses on genetic linkage
and association studies and candidate gene analyses for
psychiatric disorders. In this capacity, she currently
participates in a number of large-scale collaborations,
including the NIMH Bipolar Genetics Study (BiGS), which is
funded to conduct genome-wide association studies of bipolar
disorder, and the Consortium on the Genetics of Schizophrenia
(COGS), which is funded to assess the contribution of
endophenotypic measures to schizophrenia susceptibility and
outcome. Through her involvement in the Genetics and Genomics
Unit of the Center of Excellence for Stress and Mental Health (CESAMH),
she is pursuing genetic strategies for identifying the
predisposing determinants of susceptibility to post-traumatic
stress disorder (PTSD). Selected Publications
