Research

Dr Cree completed her PhD (Biochemistry) and undertook postdoctoral training in the USA. She came to Aotearoa in 2011 and joined the University of Otago as a Postdoctoral Fellow in 2012, where she developed new expertise in the field of human genetics and genomics. From 2014, Dr Cree led the introduction and establishment of state-of-the-art long-read nanopore sequencing to NZ. She is a Bioinformatician with the Omics and Pasifika Heart laboratory, and her current research focuses on evaluating circulating biomarkers and identifying genetic risk factors that can predict risk and progression of heart disease in Pacific peoples.
