Bio

Dr. Schwantes-An is genetic epidemiologist with training in both quantitative and qualitative genetics. His research career started in psychiatric genetics then during postdoctoral training, where he eventually began working on statistical methods evaluation and quantitative genetics.

Since joining IU, Dr. Schwantes-An's research has been focused on understanding the genetics of cardiometabolic diseases such as liver diseases, pulmonary arterial hypertension, and chronic kidney disease. He is currently the Director of Genetics for Indiana Biobank. In this role, he assists other researchers with utilizing genetic and electronic medical records information to conduct genetic studies.

Outside of the work, Dr. Schwantes-An is a coach for the Sidener Academy (Indianapolis Public Schools)'s robotics team and an avid cyclist.
