Dr. Laura Ramsey completed her undergraduate work in 2004, receiving her BS in chemistry at the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls, IA. She then joined the Molecular, Cellular, Developmental Biology & Genetics Program at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, MN, where she studied the role of B cell receptor signaling in autoimmunity and leukemia.
After defending her thesis and receiving her Ph.D. in 2009, Dr. Ramsey began her postdoctoral training with Dr. Mary Relling at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, TN. There she studied pharmacogenomics and identified genetic variants associated with clearance of the drug methotrexate.
Dr. Ramsey is a member of the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) and led the 2014 update of the CPIC guideline regarding SLCO1B1 and simvastatin-induced myopathy.
