Ziyue Gao is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Genetics at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. His research focuses on human genetics within an evolutionary framework, utilizing computational approaches to address complex questions related to genetics, natural selection, and mutation. Gao aims to uncover the genetic basis of various human traits and diseases by developing methods to quantify the impacts of natural selection across evolutionary scenarios. His expertise includes population genetics, human disease, complex traits, and the evolutionary timing of mutagenesis in germline and somatic tissues. He has published significant studies on the role of DNA damage related to maternal age and the genetic architecture of complex traits through mathematical modeling and statistical analysis of genomic data. Gao's work contributes to a deeper understanding of genetic variation and its implications for human health and evolution.
