Michael P. Epstein, Ph.D., is a statistical geneticist, who received his Ph.D. in Biostatistics from the University of Michigan (co-advisors: Drs. Michael Boehnke and Xihong Lin). His research focuses on statistical techniques for genetic and genomic analysis of complex human traits and diseases. This work involves two synergistic components: a methodological component focused on developing statistical techniques for improved gene mapping and an applied component focused on mapping genes involved in diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, breast cancer and orofacial clefting.

Statement of Free Expression

FIU endorses the Florida Board of Governors' Statement of Free Expression to support and encourage full and open discourse and the robust exchange of ideas and perspectives on our campuses. In addition to supporting this legal right, we view this as an integral part of our ability to deliver a high-quality academic experience for our students, engage in meaningful and productive research, and provide valuable public service. This includes fostering civil and open dialogue in support of critical thinking in and out of the classroom, including events hosted by the university.
