Research Interests
Heather Ann Gordish-Dressman, PhD began her career in inorganic chemistry but soon became interested in public health. She studied applied biostatistics and epidemiology under the direction of Dr. Wendy Mack at the University of Southern California, focusing on the effects of transdermal estrogen on vascular function and lipids in postmenopausal women. She also studied the Glycophorin A assay, investigating the effects of environmental exposures during pregnancy on developing fetuses, under the direction of Dr. William Bigbee at the University of Pittsburgh in the emerging field of molecular epidemiology.

Since joining Children’s National Medical Center, Dr. Gordish-Dressman has applied her knowledge of statistics and bench science as the primary statistician for research projects in the Center for Genetic Medicine Research.
