Susan Walsh studies how genetic variation shapes visible human traits, especially facial shape, using DNA data combined with 3D imaging and MRI scans. A major focus is connecting specific genetic variants (differences in DNA) to physical features, including in conditions like Cri-du-Chat syndrome and achondroplasia. This work sits at the intersection of genetics, forensic science, and computational analysis of large biological datasets.
