Who we are

The Washington State Twin Registry staff is a small but mighty team dedicated to making our Registry a valuable data repository for researchers around the world.

Many of you have worked with Shelby Tarutis, who was the coordinator for Physical Activity in Twins, Environmental Exposures in Twins, Gene Expression and the Microbiome in Twins (GEMsTone), Google Timeline, and most recently the Social Relationships study. Shelby retired in August 2024.
