COUNSELOR SPOTLIGHT
Anne Madeo, Class of 1999
We are proud to celebrate the accomplishments of alumna Anne Madeo. Anne spent the last eight years working at the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) in Bethesda, MD and just recently accepted a new position as the Associate Director of the Johns Hopkins University/National Human Genome Research Institute (JHU/NHGRI) Genetic Counseling Training Program.
While working at the NIDCD Anne wore multiple hats as she ascertained, enrolled, and provided genetic counseling to research subjects in studies of hereditary hearing loss, Usher syndrome, and central auditory processing disorders. In addition, she managed significant administrative aspects of the research protocols, including IRB reporting. Anne was also involved in several educational activities including teaching about psychosocial, regulatory, and ethical issues of clinical research protocols at intra-Institute events and supervising and teaching genetic counseling students from the JHU/NHGRI Program. Anne’s recently vacated position at NIDCD will be filled by U of M alumna, Julie Albertus Muskett (Class of ‘05).
In her new position at the JHU/NHGRI Genetic Counseling Training Program, Anne joins U of M alumna, Barbara B. Biesecker (Class of '83), Program Director. Anne's responsibilities include teaching and overseeing clinical training of the genetic counseling students. Anne is also an investigator in the social and behavioral research branch of NHGRI, where she will be conducting her own research related to the genetic counseling process.
In her spare time, Anne enjoys knitting, yoga, baking, and spending time with her family, including her husband and two sons, Izzy and Niki. Anne’s indulgences include taking advantage of Ann Arbor’s Zingerman’s Deli mail order service!
