JONATHAN HAINES, PHD
Director
Jonathan Haines, PhD, is a genetic epidemiologist, Mary W. Sheldon M.D. Professor of Genomic Sciences, Chair of Department of Population and Quantitative Health Sciences, and Director of the Institute for Computational Biology. Dr. Haines has extensive experience in all aspects of genetic epidemiology with a particular focus on data analytics. He has applied his expertise to numerous neurological and ophthalmological disorders having located and identified over 20 causal and 200 associated loci. His interests are in adapting and applying statistical computational methods to biomedical big data.
