Elaine R. Mardis (born September 28, 1962) is the co-executive director of the Institute for Genomic Medicine at Nationwide Children's Hospital, where she also serves as the Nationwide Foundation Endowed Chair in Genomic Medicine.[1] She also is professor of pediatrics at the Ohio State University College of Medicine.[2] Mardis’s research focuses on the genomic characterization of cancer and its implications for cancer medicine.[3] She was part of the team that reported the first next-generation-based sequencing of a whole cancer genome,[4][5] and participated extensively in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Pediatric Cancer Genome Project (PCGP).[3][6][7][8]
