Andrew Scott Allen
Professor of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics

My research focuses on developing new statistical methods for identifying susceptibility loci involved in complex human disease. It involves a mix of genetics, statistics, and computer science and is motivated by the complexities of real data encountered in collaborative disease-gene mapping projects.
