Gilean Alistair Tristram McVean is a professor of statistical genetics at the University of Oxford[7] and a fellow of Linacre College, Oxford. He is a member of the 1000 Genomes Project steering committee.[8]

Education

McVean completed his PhD in the Department of Genetics, at the University of Cambridge with Laurence Hurst[9][10] in 1997.[11]

Career and research

Following his PhD, McVean completed postdoctoral research at the University of Edinburgh under the supervision of Brian Charlesworth and Deborah Charlesworth.[12] From 2000-2004 he was a Royal Society University Research Fellow, in the Department of Statistics at Oxford, where he has also been a University lecturer in Mathematical Genetics since 2004.

His research[13] focuses on population genetics, statistics[14] and evolutionary biology including the International HapMap Project,[15][16] recombination rates in the human genome[17] and the 1000 Genomes Project.[18][19]
