Hello and welcome to the Spence Group @ UCSF

We work at the intersection of statistical genetics, population genetics, and machine learning.

We primarily develop methods and theory to understand how evolution shapes the genetic architecture of complex traits at different biological scales, but we are also broadly interested in any biological puzzles that present interesting computational or statistical challenges.

If you are interested in joining us, we are always looking for enthusiastic folks interested in quantitative work with any level of experience.

We are located on the beautiful parnassus campus, minutes from Mt. Sutro and Golden Gate Park, and situated between the vibrant Inner Sunset and Cole Valley neighborhoods.
