We invite you to join our seminar at UCSF Mission Bay campus with Chris Gignoux from the University of Colorado.

Dr. Gignoux is a population geneticist by training interested primarily in the confluence of human evolution and epidemiology. Currently he is working on a range of topics from population structure and demographic inference to understanding the genomic architecture of complex traits. He is deeply interested in broadening our understanding of human biology through understanding the role of human genetic diversity across the globe, and continues to work with collaborators in South Africa and across Latin America. On the methods side, he is particularly interested in applications of population genetic theory, statistical modeling, and algorithmic development to improve large-scale, cross-population, and biobank studies. Dr. Gignoux received his PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences and Pharmacogenomics from UCSF and did postdoctoral training at Stanford in the Genetics and Biomedical Data Science departments.
