I'll be at #ASHG2026 this year! I'm presenting some recent work (with @huishengzhu.bsky.social) on extracting all the information we can out of rare-variant burden test statistics for downstream meta-analysis. Catch me at poster 8357F to talk about the project or stat gen / pop gen.

I'm also looking for postdoctoral opportunities in statistics / statistical genetics / population genetics starting in the fall of 2028. I'm interested in empirical Bayes and trait causal models! bsky.app/profile/jeff...

It's been 30 years (!!!) since the conceptualization of GWAS. GWAS has driven tons of discoveries, but with recent experimental developments (CRISPR, single-cell omics), we thought it was time to think about how to drive the next 30 years of human genetics. doi.org/10.5281/zeno...
