Jonathan Laurence Marchini (born 19 May 1973)[3] is Professor of Statistical Genomics[4] in the Department of Statistics at the University of Oxford, a Tutorial Fellow in Statistics at Somerville College[5], Oxford and a co-founder and director of GENSCI LTD [6]. He co-leads the Haplotype Reference Consortium[7].

Education

He obtained a Bachelor of Science degreed in Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics from Exeter University from 1991-94[8]. He then obtained a PGCE in Mathematics Education from the West Sussex Institute of Higher Education from 1994-5. He completed his DPhil in the Department of Statistics at the University of Oxford supervised by Professor Brian Ripley from 1998-2002[9].

Career and Research

Marchini spent 3 years working as a VSO volunteer teaching A-level Mathematics at Tosamaganga Secondary school, near Iringa, Tanzania, between September 1995 and September 1998[10].

From 2002 to 2005 he held a Wellcome Trust Training Fellowship in Mathematical Biology, under the supervision of Prof Lon Cardon and Prof Peter Donnelly.

In 2006 he was appointed as a University Lecturer (Associate Professor) in Statistical Genomics in the Department of Statistics at the University of Oxford and a Senior Research Fellow at Mansfield College. In 2007 he became an affiliated Group Leader at the Wellcome Trust Center of Human Genetics[11] at the University of Oxford. In 2010 he was re-appointed until retirement [12]

In 2015 he was promoted to Professor of Statistical Genomics[13][14]

Marchini's research focusses on statistical genetics and population genetics, with a particular emphasis on methods development for genome-wide association studies. He has worked on haplotype estimation[15][16][17][18], genotype imputation[19], genotype calling from arrays and sequencing, sparse tensor decomposition for RNA-seq datasets[20], population structure[21], phenotype prediction and mixed models[22], gene-gene interactions[23] and brain imaging genetics[24].

He was a member of the analysis team for the International HapMap Project, the Wellcome Trust Case-Control Consortium, the 1000 Genomes Project and the UK10K Project. His research group was responsible for the haplotype estimation and genotype imputation for the UK Biobank dataset. He co-leads the Haplotype Reference Consortium[25].

He has been an ISI Highly Cited Researcher from 2014-2018[26]

He has acted as an expert witness in a patent trial[27].

Awards

In 2013 he was awarded a Philip Leverhulme Prize[28] for "leading the way by constructing powerful and ingenious novel statistical methodology for population and medical genetics, together with associated fast computational algorithms and software."
