Rebecca D. Jackson

Rebecca D. Jackson's research uses large-scale genetic studies to understand cardiovascular disease, diabetes, bone health, and blood lipid levels, often analyzing genetic data from diverse populations including African and European ancestry groups. This work involves genome-wide association studies (GWAS), which scan the entire genetic code to find variants linked to disease risk, and meta-analyses that combine data from many studies to improve statistical power. The research has practical relevance for understanding disease risk across different ancestral populations and for identifying genes involved in conditions like coronary artery disease, venous thromboembolism, and osteoporosis.

Publication output has fluctuated over the last decade, with a notable increase in 2020 and 2023, though the yearly count varies considerably rather than showing a steady linear trend.
