SUMMARY:STAGE ISSS: Ellen M. Wijsman
DESCRIPTION:\nJoin us for the next instalment of the STAGE International Speaker Seminar Series (ISSS) with\n\n\n\nEllen M. Wijsman\n\n\n\nProfessor, Division of Medical Genetics and Department of Biostatistics,University of Washington\n\n\n\nTalk Title:\n\n\n\nNew genomics technologies and complex traits: what do we gain, and what are the challenges? \n\n\n\nAbstract:\n\n\n\nUnavailable\n\n\n\nSpeaker Profile:\n\n\n\nEllen M. Wijsman, earned her Ph.D. in Population Genetics (1981) at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. She was a postdoctoral fellow and a research associate at Stanford University from 1981- 1987, after which she moved to the University of Washington. She currently holds joint appointments in the Department of  Biostatistics and the Division of Medical Genetics, and is an adjunct faculty member in the Department of Genome Sciences.  She serves on a number of advisory panels, monitoring boards,  editorial boards, and review panels, and has served as the  president of the International Genetic Epidemiology Society. Dr. Wijsman’s research is directed towards the development and application of quantitative methods for analysis of human genetic data, particularly in the context of complex traits. Disorders under investigation currently include Alzheimer’s disease, dyslexia, autism, cardiovascular disease, and schizophrenia. She complements applications with methodological developments  that expand the repertoire of possible analytical approaches that are useful for analysis of complex genetic traits. Current  methods now provide computationally tractable approaches for  analysis in the presence of complex modes of inheritance on  large pedigrees, tools for incorporating very dense marker typing  (including inclusion of sequence information), and approaches for combining family and population-based data.\n\n\n\nSpeaker Poster:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEllen Wijsman Poster ( https://stage.utoronto.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/ISSS-Poster-Wijsman-Ellen2.pdf )Download\n\n\n\nPhotography Disclosure:\n\n\n\nPhotographs and/or video may be taken of participants at STAGE events.
