Sam Morris

BSc, PhD

Early Career Research Fellow

Sam Morris is an Early Career Research Fellow in genetics, working with the China Kadoorie Biobank and the Mexico City Prospective Study.

His research focuses on population and statistical genetics, using biobank-scale datasets to study natural selection, admixture, and genetic variation and their relation to complex trait variation. He is particularly interested in population structure, ancestry variation and admixture in Chinese populations. Sam also works on the genetic basis of diseases and traits through genome-wide association studies (GWAS), gene-burden testing, and proteomic analyses, and is involved in drug target development for neurological disorders and genetic variation in the HLA region.

Sam completed a PhD in ancient DNA and statistical genetics at the UCL Genetics Institute and a BSc in Biology at the University of Sheffield. He has also researched the genetics of wild insect populations.
