I am a professor in the Program in Genetic Epidemiology and Statistical Genetics in the Department of Epidemiology at HSPH, with a secondary appointment in the Department of Biostatistics. I am an associate member of the Program in Medical and Population Genetics at the Broad Institute, and a member of the Program in Quantitative Genomics at HSPH. I am the recipient of the 2017 Harvard Chan Outstanding Postdoctoral Mentor Award. Our research focuses on the development of statistical methods for uncovering the genetic basis of human disease, and on the population genetics underlying these methods. Areas of interest include functional components of heritability, common vs. rare variant architectures, and disease mapping in structured populations.

A person who is genetically at increased risk for developing the eating disorder anorexia appears to also have a slightly increased genetic risk for schizophrenia, but a slightly decreased genetic risk for obesity, according to a new genetic…
December 5, 2014 -- New research by Alkes Price, associate professor of statistical genetics at Harvard School of Public Health, and colleagues focuses on new approaches to characterizing and identifying genetic factors in complex disease. What’s the basic…
November 27, 2012 -- What does genome-wide analysis reveal about complex human traits? What’s the best way to design and analyze gene-sequencing studies? These were some of the questions addressed at the sixth annual PQG (Program in Quantitative…
September 29, 2011 A new study led by Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) researchers implies that, among three closely related African-ancestry populations, natural selection is at work in genes related to malaria and bladder and gastric cancers.…
