Dr. Bethany Davis, an enrolled member of Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians, is a Research Assistant Professor within the Clinical Genomics and Therapeutics Division. She has expertise in elucidating the effects of exposures to environmental toxicants (heavy metals) and hyperglycemia in the kidney; her primary research focus involves the molecular characterization of and studying mutational signatures associated with kidney cancer in Native Americans.
Her future goals are to capitalize on the advancements of technology to apply her training and knowledge of cancer genomics to improve precision medicine for Native Americans, ultimately, bridging the gap in health disparities.
Dr. Davis earned her Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences in 2018 studying the effects of hyperglycemia and cadmium exposures in a kidney in vitro cell model system.
