Kim Pelak

My name is Kim Pelak and I'm a first year in the UPGG program. I graduated from Dartmouth College in 2005 with a major in genetics, and worked for a clinical research study at Massachusetts General Hospital for 2 years before coming to Duke. I'm interested in human genetics and translational research . . . and we'll see where that takes me while I'm here!

I'm originally from Minneapolis. I have a huge love for Latin America and have spent extensive time living/traveling in Argentina and the southern cone (that's me in front of the Perrito Moreno glacier, in Patagonia). I also love doing outdoors things, with the favorites being skiing, soccer and hiking.
