Karen Raraigh received her Masters in Genetic Counseling from the University of Maryland School of Medicine in 2008.  Immediately after, she completed a Fulbright-funded research project within the adult CF clinic at St. Vincent’s University Hospital in Dublin, Ireland and then joined the Genetics Department at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, OH as a pediatric genetic counselor.  In 2011, Ms. Raraigh joined a research team at Johns Hopkins University, where she is heavily involved in the Clinical and Functional Translation of CFTR (CFTR2) project and database, the CF Genome Project in which 5,000 adults with CF underwent whole genome sequencing, and an initiative to investigate the development of a CF specific genetic counseling service. Her primary interests are genotype-phenotype correlation and the impact of CFTR modulators, CFTR test selection in the context of screening, and CF genetics education.
