SUMMARY:STAGE ISSS: Matthew Stephens
DESCRIPTION:\nJoin us for the next instalment of the STAGE International Speaker Seminar Series (ISSS) with\n\n\n\nMatthew Stephens\n\n\n\nProfessor of Statistics and Human GeneticsUniversity of Chicago\n\n\n\nTalk Title:\n\n\n\nCome Join the Multiple Testing Party!\n\n\n\nAbstract:\n\n\n\nMultiple testing is often described as a “burden”. My goal is to convince you that multiple testing is better viewed as an opportunity, and that instead of laboring under this burden, you should be looking for ways to exploit this opportunity. I invite you to a multiple testing party.\n\n\n\nSpeaker Profile:\n\n\n\nDr. Matthew Stephens is Professor of Statistics and Professor of Human Genetics at the University of Chicago, and a Gordon and Betty Moore Investigator in Data Driven Discovery. He received his PhD in Statistics (1997) from the University of Oxford, UK. As a statistician and data scientist, his research interests include analysis of population structure, analysis of genetic association studies (including both complex traits and molecular phenotypes, such as gene expression and chromatin accessibility), large scale regression and multiple testing. His lab distributes sofware packages including PHASE and fastPHASE (for haplotype inference), GEMMA (for association testing) and BIMBAM (for genotype imputation and association testing). Among his honours, Dr. Stephens was recognized as a Medallion Lecturer by the Institute for Mathematical Statistics in 2014.\n\n\n\nSpeaker Poster:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatthew Stephens Poster ( https://stage.utoronto.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Matthew-Stephens-seminar.pdf )Download\n\n\n\nPhotography Disclosure:\n\n\n\nPhotographs and/or video may be taken of participants at STAGE events.
