Celia Greenwood

Dr. Greenwood is Senior Investigator at the Lady Davis Institute of the Jewish General Hospital in Montreal, and Associate Professor at McGill University in the Departments of Oncology, and Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Occupational Health. She is a statistician with an interest in methodology for the analysis of genetic and genomic data. Her methodological work spans family studies looking for patterns of inheritance of disease-causing genes, case-control studies looking for associations between anonymous markers and disease status, gene expression studies examining differences between patient groups or tissues, and estimation of copy number variation in the genome. Currently, she is working on methods for the analysis of rare genetic variants, such as those identified by sequencing studies, and also on methods for characterizing genomic abnormalities in tumours.
