Gavin Band

Head of Statistical Genomics

  • Associate Professor
  • Group Leader

I am a Group Leader at the Centre for Human Genetics where I run a small research group focussed on human and pathogen genomics, with a particular focus on Plasmodium falciparum malaria.  We are using genetics to detect and dissect signals of interaction between malaria parasites and factors that produce host immunity - including host protective mutations and interventions such as vaccines - and to unpick the underlying biological function and evolutionary consequences.  To achieve this we are working closely with local and international collaborators.

I am also deeply involved in computational and statistical genomics training for the centre's postgraduate training programmes.
