Dr. Derick Hoskinson, PhD
Senior Clinical Scientist
Hey, I'm Derick. This space is for me to experiment with web development, showcase my curriculum vitae, develop fun genetic tools and occasionally report my musings.
My hobbies are numerous and usually changing, though I can always count on music, reading, and genetics to be sources of inspiration. Right now, I'm enjoying watching new movies and catching up on about 10 years of movies that I missed during my studies.
I read loads of scientific articles a month and I also enjoy reading science fiction, fantasy, queer, LGBTQ+, and cookbooks.
I only began coding my own projects in 2018 in my spare time. I would like to learn more math and computer science to improve my coding skills.
After I completed my PhD in Genetics, I was introduced to clinical genetics by a alumni and friend of mine. I'm always excited about new developments whehther they be in 'boring' stuff like database updates, new variant assesment tools, and more inovations
When I was twelve , I moved to Bolivar, Missouri, where I attended high school and had a short stint at Missouri University Columbia. Before Missouri, I lived near Lake Ontario in Western New York. In 2001, I moved to Boston, Massachusetts-- a city where I went to school(s), grew up, ate my feelings, played entirely too much World of Warcraft, danced the Thursday nights away at the Phoenix Landing, and proudly embraced being a New Englander.
