Biography

Greg Gibson is a Professor in the School of Biological Sciences at Georgia Tech, where he also serves as the Director of the Center for Integrative Genomics. He received his BSc majoring in Genetics from the University of Sydney, Australia, and a PhD in Developmental Genetics from the University of Basel. Gibson's research interests encompass quantitative genetic research, particularly focused on human quantitative genetics and the application of genomic approaches to complex traits such as those found in Drosophila. He has a long-term interest in statistical approaches for analyzing gene expression data, particularly in the context of ecology, evolution, and disease progression. Gibson's work on immuno-transcriptomics explores how variations in immune cell types relate to various inflammatory auto-immune conditions, providing a framework for monitoring profiles using peripheral blood. His focus also includes predictive health genomics, where he aims to integrate environmental exposures and genetic data for health risk assessments. A prominent figure in the field, Gibson has authored significant textbooks on genomics and health, and he has held prestigious fellowships at Stanford University and the University of Michigan.
