<h2>Current Members</h2>
<h3>Garrett Hellenthal</h3>
Garrett is currently a Professor of Statistical Genetics at UCL. He received a PhD in Statistics at the University of Washington, and subsequently worked as a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Oxford. He is currently developing and applying statistical methods to infer (i) the genetic structure of human populations (particularly in regions of Africa), (ii) historical periods when world-wide groups intermixed, for example due to invasions or migrations, and (iii) genetic loci facilitating humans' adaptations to new environments (including through methylation marks).

<h3>Leo Speidel</h3>
Leo is a Sir Henry Wellcome fellow at UCL, Genetics Institute and the Francis Crick Institute working on Statistical and Population Genetics. He is a member of Garrett's group (UCL) and Pontus Skoglund’s group (Crick). He is interested in developing powerful statistical tools that utilise the rapidly growing numbers of genomes of modern and ancient people to reconstruct our shared genetic past. Our genomes can, for instance, inform us about past migrations, introgression with Neanderthals and other extinct hominids, and adaptation to environmental or lifestyle changes throughout human history. In particular, he is interested in understanding how evolutionary forces have shaped our genetic differences and how these may impact our health.

<h3>Nancy Bird</h3>
Nancy is a post-doctoral researcher in the group. She completed her PhD with Garrett in 2023, focusing on understanding the population structure and history of different groups across Africa, and linking this to cultural and historical factors. Her research interests include inferring population structure and ancestry in worldwide human populations, as well as understanding how humans have adapted to new environments.
