Special Interests
Research Interests
Dr. Leach's responsibilities at the Integrated Center for Genes, Environment, and Health are to develop computational algorithms for the analysis and interpretation of genomic and proteomic datasets. She is particularly interested in methods which integrate diverse types of genomic data in order to explain high-throughput data results and prioritize those results for further follow-up studies.
