[2] She then received her medical degree from the State University of New York at Stony Brook, and went on to complete her fellowship in general internal medicine and clinical epidemiology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. She later received a masters' in public health degree from Harvard University. [3]

Editorial career

Laine first joined the Annals in June 1995 as a part-time associate editor, [3] and became a deputy editor there in 1998 and senior deputy editor in April 2008. [4] She was appointed the journal's editor-in-chief in April 2009, becoming the youngest person to hold this position in the history of the journal. [2]
