The following is the final list of courses and instructors for the Summer Institutes to be held in Atlanta from June 1st – June 12th, 2026.
There will be four streams: Population and Evolution, Integrative Genomics, Quantitative Genetics, and Statistical Analysis, as well as an Introductory module on Programming. These will be offered in four half-week sessions. The streams are merely guides, though they do reflect to some degree historical patterns of which courses students take successively. Most students take two or three modules, but you may take one (or four). Only nominate one course for each time bloc.
The Summer Institute in Statistical Genetics (SISG) has introduced geneticists to modern methods of statistical analysis and statisticians to the challenges posed by modern genetic data. The goal of SISG is to strengthen the statistical and genetic proficiency and career preparation of scholars from all backgrounds, including those from groups historically underrepresented in STEM such as racial and ethnic minority groups, low income, first generation college students, and individuals with disabilities.
