Caitlin Maloney received her MPH in Public Health Genetics from the University of Washington and BS in Biology from Baylor University. Prior to joining the IPHG, she worked as a clinical scientist in a molecular diagnostics laboratory. While at the Institute, Caitlin investigated ethical considerations and epidemiological data regarding children with trisomy 13 and 18 requiring cardiac surgery and respiratory support. Her thesis highlighted “the politics of probability” and how values and roles shape the understanding of data in pediatric decision-making, especially for children with disabilities. Caitlin’s research and training are grounded in ethical, legal, and social implications of genetics. She has a particular interest in how genomic technologies intersect with the criminal legal system and health and disability law.
