Christine Lary
Research Associate Professor
Christine Lary earned her doctorate in bioinformatics and statistics from North Carolina State University, a master’s degree in biomedical engineering from Duke University, and a bachelor’s degree in engineering physics from Cornell University. She has worked previously as a faculty scientist at MaineHealth Institute for Research and as an assistant professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Public Health.
Lary has lived in Maine for over ten years and currently lives in Yarmouth with her husband, two daughters, and two chocolate Labrador retrievers. She enjoys running, hiking, cycling, and boating with her family.
Research Overview
Lary’s independent research is focused on musculoskeletal genomics and aging, where she uses a diverse set of epidemiological and bioinformatics approaches to make novel discoveries about complex disease. She also serves as a biostatistician and bioinformatician in numerous collaborations.
