The Omnigenic Architecture of Human Complex Traits

Listen to audio

Jonathan Pritchard is a professor at Stanford University and an HHMI investigator. He grew up mainly in England, and studied at Penn State, Stanford and Oxford before joining the faculty of the University of Chicago in 2001. He returned to Stanford to take his current position in 2013.
His current work focuses on the genetic basis of variation in gene regulation and complex traits in humans, and on human polygenic adaptation.
