. He is one of the founding Editors-in-Chief of Genome Research and Annual Review of Genomics and Human Genetics and has been or is on the advisory boards of numerous national and international institutes, charities, academic societies, the National Institutes of Health, and biotechnology companies.

In 2013 and 2015 Dr. Royal served as a chairperson of the planning committee for two consensus roundtable meetings convened by the American Society of Human Genetics charged with developing guidelines for genetic ancestry inference.

His research focuses on understanding the effect of population structure and natural selection on human genetic variation; developing innovative ways to discover genetic variants underlying monogenic disorders, modifiers of monogenic traits, and complex traits; and testing novel ways to translate genomic advances into the practice of precision genetic medicine. He and his colleagues pioneered the use of exome and genome sequencing for discovery of genes underlying Mendelian conditions and has contributed to the identification of hundreds of genes for Mendelian disorders.

Her research focuses broadly on personalizing medicine, using genetic information and biomarkers for tailored treatment, in relation to pharmacogenomics, as well as understanding the cultural, ethical, legal, and social implications of genomic research with populations historically underrepresented in health research. Her current research includes studying cytochrome P450 genetic variation in Indigenous communities (e.g., American Indian and Alaska Native peoples)

From page 207... ...
He has been at the forefront of the development of genetic markers for ancestry and how genetic ancestry can be used in genetics studies on disease risk and outcomes, showing the effect of genetic variation across populations. He received a Ph.D.

From page 209... ...
His research has developed computational methods to answer a diverse range of questions regarding genetic diversity. His work has especially had an impact on the understanding and analysis of geographic patterns in human genetic variation.
