Program in Quantitative Genomics
The Program in Quantitative Genomics (PQG) develops and applies quantitative methods to help handle massive genetic, genomic, and health data. Based in the Harvard Chan School and Longwood Medical Area, its goal is to improve health through the interdisciplinary study of genetics, behavior, environment, and health.

Events and Seminars
The PQG supports a variety of opportunities for participants to gain “hands-on” experience, exchange ideas, and be exposed to cutting edge research.
Annual PQG Conference
The Program in Quantitative Genomics hosts an annual PQG Conference on cutting edge topics in genomics.
PQG Seminar Series
The goal of the PQG Seminar Series is to encourage the exchanging of ideas, promote interaction, collaboration, and research in quantitative genomics. It also aims to promote the mission of the PQG which is to improve health through an interdisciplinary study of genetics, behavior, environment and medicine. The seminar series looks to include the development and application of quantitative methods, especially for high dimensional data, as well as a focus on the training of quantitative genomic scientists.
PQG Working Group Series
Each year, the PQG organizes a less formal PQG Working Group Series for all local students, postdocs, and faculty. The goal is to provide the opportunity to present and participate in the discussion of works-in-progress, and to focus on the methods and analysis of high-dimensional data in genetics and genomics.
PQG Short Courses
The PQG organizes several Short Courses during the course of the academic year that focus on skill building relevant to genomic research and data analysis.
