Professional Statement
Chad Shaw is trained as a mathematical statistician, and he has worked in statistical genomics and bioinformatics for approximately 20 years. He is currently a professor of molecular and human genetics at Baylor and a joint professor of statistics at Rice University. He is also the Director of the D2K Laboratory at Rice University.
He has experience in next-generation sequencing, variant analysis, multi-omic data integration, gene expression profiling and variant functionalization. He also has expertise in copy-number analysis and has worked in the area of mechanistic studies of structural variation, with a focus on the role of repetitive elements in new mutations.
He led the development and analysis of an applied probabilistic model for the transmission of new mutations in the context of human genetic disease, which led to the elucidation of the dependency of recurrence risk on parent of origin, parental somatic mosaicism and paternal age. This fundamental contribution to human genetics was featured in many reviews and in the New York Times as a lay press article.
He has been an author on approximately 200 peer-reviewed publications, and his work has been cited approximately 17,000 times. He has trained 5 Ph.D. students in his own laboratory and over 10 students as a thesis committee member. He serves as chairman of the qualifying exam committee for the Quantitative and Computational Biosciences program. His students have performed methodologic research in high dimensional sparse regression, statistical methods for high throughput NGS screens approaches to modifiers of Mendelian disease, eQTL analyses and software tools for variant prioritization in rare disease diagnostics.
