Research summary
AI-generated

Geyu Zhou develops statistical and computational methods for predicting disease risk and traits from genetic data, with a particular focus on 'polygenic risk scores' (numeric summaries of many small genetic effects combined into one risk estimate). Much of this work addresses how to make these predictions work better across different ancestry groups, admixed populations, and for multiple related traits or diseases at once. This research is relevant to students interested in statistical genetics, genomics data analysis, and methods for translating large genetic datasets into clinically useful risk predictions.
