Jack Garland studied his integrated masters in mathematics and statistics at the University of Oxford, where he was interested in continuous time markov chains, stochastic differential equations, and other stochastic processes applicable to biology, with a focus on genetics. At a summer internship at the MRC Biostatistics Unit in Cambridge he explored using cell free dna to detect various cancers.
In his masters dissertation he investigated the iterative viral genome building method of sc2ts, and how it behaves in situations beyond SARSCoV2. In the future he hopes to continue to explore genetic and epidemiological problems and their intersection.
Outside of academics, Jack enjoys board games, diorama making, climbing, and hiking. The last of these is why he’s writing this in a shed in rural Northumberland.
