Alon Keinan received his Ph.D. with distinction in Computer Science from Tel Aviv University in 2005. He continued to a postdoctoral position in the Department of Genetics at Harvard Medical School and in the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, while transitioning into the fields of human population genomics and medical genetics. Alon's postdoctoral research focused on elucidating the history of modern human populations and on developing statistical methods for searching for genes important in human biology.
