John Novembre is a Professor in the Biological Sciences Division at the University of Chicago, specializing in Human Genetics. His research interests encompass Computational Biology, Computational Statistics, Data Science, Genomics, Human Genetics, Molecular Evolution, and Population Genetics. He utilizes computational tools to study genetic diversity in natural populations, aiming to develop statistical methods for extracting information from large-scale genomic data. His research contributions seek to enhance the understanding of basic genomic biology, heritable disease traits, the genetic basis of evolutionary processes, and the evolutionary history of species, particularly humans. He approaches these problems through theoretical population genetics, statistical genetics, and computational statistics, and his work is driven by data from emerging genotyping and sequencing technologies, particularly in interesting population samples. John has also focused on study designs for sampling deleterious rare variants within biobank-scale datasets, contributing to the field significantly through his publications in esteemed journals.
