Assistant Professor
Harvard University
Kurt Christensen is an Assistant Professor of Population Medicine at the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute and Harvard Medical School whose research focuses on the medical, behavioral, and economic impact of integrating genetics into clinical care for healthy patients. His work has provided some of the earliest evidence about the unanticipated benefits of disclosing secondary genomic findings, the health consequences of preemptive pharmacogenomic testing, and the economic impact of genetic screening of health populations. His current work examines the benefits, harms, and costs of population genetic screening using data from simulation modeling, observational studies, and randomized trials.
