Zachary Caterer
PhD student in Biological Engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder.
I build computational tools for understanding human disease. My research focuses on polygenic risk scores for cardiovascular disease, developing methods to improve risk prediction across diverse populations. I also work on open-source software for high-throughput biological image analysis, single-cell phenotyping, and genomic simulation.
Previously at the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire (B.S. Biology & Biochemistry) and the Kamariza Lab at UCLA. Currently advised at CU Boulder in the BioFrontiers Institute.
