Genetic Epidemiology and Statistical Genetics


The Program in Genetic Epidemiology and Statistical Genetics (PGSG), formerly known as the Program in Molecular and Genetic Epidemiology, is dedicated to the genetic analysis of complex human diseases. The study of how genetic factors contribute to health and disease in families and populations, as well as how genes interact with environmental factors, is known as genetic epidemiology. SPH statistical geneticists create statistical methods for understanding the genetic basis of human diseases and traits. Large-scale data sets from candidate-gene, genome-wide, and sequencing studies, involving both unrelated and related individuals, are used in these methods. SPH statistical geneticists collaborate with other SPH and international researchers on studies of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, respiratory disease, psychiatric disease, and health-related behaviours (e.g. smoking, diet).
