Brenna Boyd is a Program Manager at Columbia University, where she coordinates large-scale genomic research initiatives. Her research interests center on human genetics, medical genetics, and molecular diagnostics, with a particular focus on the clinical implementation of genomic newborn screening and the interpretation of genetic variants in pediatric and neurological disorders. She has contributed to the GUARDIAN expanded newborn screening study, publishing findings on long QT syndrome detection, G6PD deficiency correlation, and variant reporting approaches. Her recent work also addresses equity challenges in covering medical care costs for participants in the eMERGE Network and the global consideration of genetic disorders for screening programs. Boyd collaborates internationally on data-driven frameworks for genomic screening and has published in venues such as *Genetics in Medicine* and *Human Genetics and Genomics Advances*.
