Rate My Professor Kristy Crooks

Dr. Crooks's research encompasses human genetics, genomics, biobanks, polygenic risk scores, pharmacogenetics, and ancestry considerations in genomics. Her influential publications include "Recommendations for Next-Generation Sequencing Germline Variant Confirmation: A Joint Report of the Association for Molecular Pathology and National Society of Genetic Counselors" (Journal of Molecular Diagnostics, 2023), "Mapping the human genetic architecture of COVID-19" (Nature, 2021; 630 citations), "Global Biobank Meta-analysis Initiative: Powering genetic discovery across human disease" (Cell Genomics, 2022; 466 citations), "Actionable exomic incidental findings in 6503 participants: challenges of variant classification" (Genome Research, 2015; 430 citations), "Building a vertically integrated genomic learning health system: The biobank at the Colorado Center for Personalized Medicine" (American Journal of Human Genetics, 2024), and "The clinical imperative for inclusivity: race, ethnicity, and ancestry (REA) in genomics" (Human Mutation, 2018; 168 citations). She chairs the Genetics Subdivision of the Association for Molecular Pathology and was elected to its Board of Directors. Her laboratory contributed to developing a molecular test for COVID-19 detection during the pandemic.
