Members. Graduate student and postdoctoral members of the lab
have received their previous academic training in a variety of fields,
including anthropological genetics, biochemistry, bioinformatics,
biological anthropology, biology, chemistry, computer science, ecology
& evolution, genetics, human biology, human genetics, mathematics,
molecular & cellular biology, physics, psychology, statistics, and
systems science & engineering. Lab alumni

bioinformatics, computational biology, data science, and software.
Lab members contribute to a warm and
interactive intellectual atmosphere with a strong commitment to rigor and
training in mathematical, statistical, and computational approaches to
biology. Members enter the group with a high degree of independence,
motivation, and training; undergraduates and early-stage graduate students
are often paired with senior members for the initial stages of their work
in the lab. Typical research profiles for graduate students and postdocs
include theory, method development, and data
analysis, and both individual and team-oriented projects. Lab members have
considerable autonomy in working to devise their project portfolios.
As part of their experience in the lab, members of
the lab strive to promote interconnectedness among academic disciplines,
clear and concise scientific writing, informative presentation of
scientific results, rigor and thoroughness in scientific work, support and
mentorship for junior members, and openness in disseminating the products
of their research. We seek to bring in new members who share our research
interests and our scientific values.

Environment. Stanford has a rich community of researchers with
interests related to those of the lab. Our location in the brand new
Bass Biology Building facilitates interactions with this broader
community. Bass Biology Building is a short distance from the main
quad, the math, statistics, and computer science departments, the Li and
Ma Science Library, the Clark Center and Bio-X, Stanford University
Medical Center, the Cantor Arts Center, and Bytes Cafe.
