Alicia Martin

Alicia R. Martin, Ph.D., is an Assistant Investigator at Massachusetts General Hospital, Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School, and Associate Member of the Broad Institute. She is a population and statistical geneticist studying how human history shapes genetic and phenotypic diversity, with a focus on improving the generalizability of genomic findings across ancestries. Her work develops methods and resources for multi-ancestry studies to advance equitable genomic medicine, and more broadly seeks to distinguish correlation from causation across genetic and molecular signals of disease.
