Dr. Regev Schweiger
Regev Schweiger is a computational geneticist studying genetic variation through a combination of population genetics theory, algorithm development, and large-scale genomic analysis.
He is a Senior Lecturer at the Gray School of Medical Sciences at Tel Aviv University, with a secondary affiliation in the Blavatnik School of Computer Science.
He completed his PhD at Tel Aviv University, where he developed statistical methods for genetics, and his postdoctoral research with Prof. Richard Durbin at the University of Cambridge, supported by the EMBO fellowship.
His work focuses on reconstructing population histories, understanding molecular processes driving genetic variation, and building scalable algorithms for analysing genomic data.
He has developed methods for ultrafast inference of genetic genealogies and applied long-read sequencing to study recombination at unprecedented resolution.
His research bridges molecular and evolutionary timescales, aiming to understand both recent and ancient forces shaping genomes.
