Biography
Richard W. Morris, Ph.D., has contributed to statistical methods for identifying the genetic basis of complex diseases. He has published on theoretical studies of linkage disequilibrium in admixed populations, genetic association methods for X-linked markers, and the utility of haplotypes as markers of complex disease genes. He has collaborated with physicians on genetic association studies of a variety of adverse clinical outcomes following coronary artery by-pass surgery and has contributed as consulting statistician to many medical research projects. He is Voluntary Associate Professor in the Dr. John T. Macdonald Foundation Department of Human Genetics and is associated with the John P. Hussman Institute for Human Genomics.
