She worked in the laboratory of David Altshuler, an associate professor of genetics at the Medical School, on recombination, the process by which a father and mothers DNA gets reshuffled to create new variations of genes in their children. Although this is one of lifes most basic processes, surprisingly little is known about how it happens and how it can be used to study the risk of genetic diseases.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/dev.news.harvard.edu\/gazette\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/06\/29-winckler1-450-2.jpg"}
