Jane M. Olson Biography

Jane M. Olson is one of the most popular and richest Epidemiologist who was born on December 6, 1952 in Concord, New Hampshire, United States.

Jane M. Olson (6 December 1952 – 2 May 2004) was an American genetic epidemiologist and biostatistician, “best known internationally for her contributions to advanced statistical methods in genetic epidemiology”.

Upon obtaining her doctorate, Olson spent three years working as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Washington. There she “developed statistical methods for model-free genetic linkage analysis”. She subsequently became involved in the National Wilms Tumor Study Group. She then worked as a research assistant in the Department of Biometry and Biomathematics at the State University of New York, Roswell Park Division. Finally in 1995, she joined the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at Case Western Reserve University, and shortly before her death was awarded tenure. During her career she published 53 articles and at the time of her death had 7 articles in submission. According to her obituary in the American Journal of Human Genetics, “In 1996, she coauthored a much-cited paper, published in Nature, describing the first genetic linkage to Crohn disease and the first use of multipoint-linkage analysis in genetic mapping of a complex disease. At the International Genetic Epidemiology Society meeting in 2001, she received the Best Paper in Genetic Epidemiology award for 2000. She later developed the conditional logistic model for studying linkage from a sample of affected relative pairs. This model parsimoniously includes environmental covariates to allow for gene-environment interaction and successfully showed that APP is a candidate locus for late-onset—as well as early-onset—Alzheimer disease.”
