Benjamin Michael Neale is a statistical geneticist with a specialty in psychiatric genetics. He is an institute member at the Broad Institute as well as an associate professor at both Harvard Medical School and the Analytic and Translational Genetics Unit at Massachusetts General Hospital. He is known for his research on the genetic origins of complex human diseases and disorders, such as ADHD, autism, and type 2 diabetes.[3] In 2016, he received the second Leena Peltonen Prize for Excellence in Human Genetics from the Paulo Foundation in Finland. Neale was given the award in recognition of his work in the fields of statistical and psychiatric genetics.[2] This has included research on the genetics of psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, major depression,[4][5] and autism.[6]
