Trina K. Walker, DNP, ARPN, FNP-C
Assistant Professor
Nursing
Her research focuses on integrating pharmacogenomics into clinical practice and incorporating genomics into nursing education. Currently, she is involved in an interprofessional project aimed at integrating pharmacogenomics into primary care to support mental health management. Additionally, she co-developed LINKAGE, a website designed to educate nursing students and educators about genomics-informed care and to facilitate connections among those interested in the field.
Dr. Walker’s work contributes to improving patient care across the lifespan—applying genomics from prenatal stages to end-of-life care—and helps shape future healthcare providers by promoting genomics-informed practice.
