Conference Wrap-Up
Presenters
Christina Zaleski, MS, CGC earned a Master of Science degree in genetic counseling from Sarah Lawrence College in 1999. After graduation, she did genealogy work for Rockefeller University in South Africa. She worked at the Marshfield Clinic as lead genetic counselor from 1999-2012.
Christina is currently Director of Genetic Counseling at PreventionGenetics and is also appointed Honorary Associate of Pediatrics for University of WI School of Medicine & Public Health. Christina has experience in many areas including prenatal, pediatric, cancer, specialty clinics, stillbirth evaluations, administration, public health education, and industry. She developed clinical genetics outreach & telehealth genetic counseling services in Wisconsin. She served on St. Joseph Hospital's Bioethics team and was co-investigator on research projects. Christina has published scientific articles in the areas of clinical genetics, stillbirth evaluations, newborn screening, utilization management, and workflow. Highlights of her career include receiving Leadership Award for Excellence in Community Service from the March of Dimes, Wisconsin Chapter, being nominated by peers as a JEMF Master Genetic Counselor, serving as President for WI Genetic Counseling Association and receiving an Outstanding Volunteer Fundraising Spirit of Giving Award (along with her family) after raising over one million dollars for cardiology research.
Linda Jaros holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree from UW-Stevens Point and is the Research Compliance Officer for Marshfield Clinic Health System. Prior to that position, she was Marshfield Clinic Investigational Review Board (IRB) Administrator for many years. During that time Linda and Marshfield’s IRB were founding members of the Wisconsin IRB Consortium (WIC). WIC was one of the very first IRB collaborations in the country with standing IRB Reliance Agreements in place between The University of Wisconsin Health Sciences IRB, Medical College of Wisconsin IRB, Aurora Health Care IRB and Marshfield Clinic IRB. Linda has the certifications of CHRC (Certified in Health Care Research Compliance) since 2016, and CIP (Certified IRB Professional) since 2003.
Scott Hebbring, PhD is a tenured Research Scientist with over 22 years of experience in human genetics. He currently holds the Dr. John Melski Distinguished Scientist Endowment in Biomedical Informatics at Marshfield Clinic. His primary scientific interests focus on the genetics of complex diseases where his laboratory focuses on ‘phenome-wide’ strategies to discover genetic markers associated with phenotypes embedded in patient medical records. For the last eight years, he has led efforts to recruit patients, evaluate genetic results, return genetic results to patients and the health system, and build complementary clinical decision support tools to improve patient care. His 22 years of human genetic research experience has resulted in nearly 100 published manuscripts. Dr.
Hebbring has a wide breadth of research and educational training with emphasis on genetics and medical informatics but also including analytical chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular and developmental biology. His research program utilizes Marshfield Clinic’s extensive electronic health record (EHR) and large population cohorts linking EHR data to genomics. Because of this experience and training in medical informatics and human genetics, he has been named as the lead PI for the All of Us Program in the state of Wisconsin and collaborates with University of Wisconsin - Madison; Medical College of Wisconsin - Milwaukee; and Gunderson Health System - La Crosse.
