Research Assistant Professor
Faculty, Behavioral/Social/Health Educ
Dr. Guan is a board-certified genetic counselor and social behavioral scientist. She holds a Masters of Science in Genetic Counseling and a PhD in Public Health from Johns Hopkins University. Her research work has focused on translational research in precision public health:
- Communication research to develop and evaluate effective communications of genomic information;
- Implementation and dissemination research to promote the adoption of evidence-based genomic applications in public health;
- Community engagement research to expand the reach of genomic screening programs to underserved minority populations.
Dr. Guan is the co-director of the Emory Precision Public Health Research Program (http://precision.emory.edu/). She has also served on multiple national committees, including the American Board of Genetic Counselors (ABGC) Research Committee and the National Society of Genetic Counselors (NSGC) Practice Guideline Committee.
