Robbee Wedow studies the genetics of complex human traits and behaviors, using large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and polygenic scores (statistical summaries of many genetic variants) to understand outcomes such as depression, educational attainment, and social behavior. A recurring theme is disentangling the roles of genes and environment in population health research, along with the social and ethical implications of genetics, such as how genetics education affects beliefs about human differences. Some work also applies quantitative genetics methods to animal breeding.
