David Reich is Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School and Professor of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in physics from Harvard University in 1996 and a DPhil from the University of Oxford in 1999. Reich joined the faculty of Harvard Medical School in 2003, received tenure in 2011, and has been a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator since 2013. He is also an associate of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard.
Reich’s research centers on ancient DNA and human population genetics. His laboratory has sequenced thousands of ancient human genomes, contributing to an atlas of human genetic variation over time and revealing details of past migrations, admixture events, and interbreeding with archaic humans such as Neanderthals and Denisovans. He is the author of the 2018 book Who We Are and How We Got Here: Ancient DNA and the New Science of the Human Past. Reich has received numerous honors, including the National Academy of Sciences Award in Molecular Biology in 2019, the Dan David Prize in 2017, and the Wiley Prize in Biomedical Sciences in 2019. His work has advanced understanding of human evolutionary history and has applications in medical genetics.
