About the Lab:

The Tishkoff laboratory uses a highly interdisciplinary approach to study human population genetics, human evolution, the genetic basis of adaptation, and genetic and environmental factors influencing variable anthropometric (including skin pigmentation), cardiovascular, metabolic, and immune-related traits. Her research focuses primarily on African population variation, a region that has been underrepresented in human genetic studies and with high levels of infectious disease.

Training Information:

Dr. Tischkoff has run a highly successful and well-funded research lab for 17 years and has mentored over 30 trainees during that time, with an excellent track record of trainee success. She will provide training experiences in population genetics, human evolution, genomics, and computational biology.
