Background
Dr. Liliana Florea is an Associate Professor of Medicine in the McKusick-Nathans Institute of Genetic Medicine, where she develops computational methods for analyzing large scale sequencing data to help characterize molecular mechanisms of diseases. Her research interests include comparing and analyzing genomes, characterizing genes and alternative splicing variations, and predicting non-coding RNA elements in human-virus interactions.
Before joining the Johns Hopkins faculty in 2011, Dr. Florea served on the faculty at the University of Maryland and the George Washington University. Previously, she was a member of the team of scientists at Celera Genomics that produced the first sequence of the human genome. Her work has been recognized with a Sloan Research Fellowship in Computational and Evolutionary Molecular Biology and has been funded by several NSF awards. Dr. Florea holds a PhD degree from the Pennsylvania State University.
Patient Ratings & Comments
The Patient Rating score is an average of all responses to physician related questions on the national CG-CAHPS Medical Practice patient experience survey through Press Ganey. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score. Comments are also gathered from our CG-CAHPS Medical Practice Survey through Press Ganey and displayed in their entirety. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.
