  • Research:
    I am a population geneticists broadly interested in human evolution, medical genetics, and domestication genomics.

    My research focuses on analyzing genome wide patterns of variation within and between species to address fundamental questions in biology, anthropology, and medicine. My group works on a variety of organisms and model systems ranging from humans and other primates to domesticated plant and animals. Much of our research is at the interface of computational biology, mathematical genetics, and evolutionary genomics. Our most current research focuses on human population genomics and global health including developing statistical, computational, and genomic resources for enabling trans- and multi-ethnic genome-wide association and sequencing studies of biomedical and/or evolutionarily interesting traits.
