Dr. Scott R. Kennedy is an Associate Professor in the Department of Laboratory Medicine & Pathology at the University of Washington. His research primarily focuses on developing high-accuracy sequencing methods to detect low-frequency somatic mutations. As one of the primary developers of Duplex Sequencing, Dr. Kennedy has significantly increased the accuracy of sequencing platforms by over 10,000-fold. His work employs this innovative technology to study the accumulation of mutations in both nuclear and mitochondrial genomes across a variety of disease contexts, particularly in relation to aging. Dr. Kennedy has published extensively in the field of somatic genomics and mutagenesis, contributing to our understanding of the genetic underpinnings of various diseases. He has held academic appointments at the University of Washington since 2014, with extensive training as a Senior Fellow in the Department of Pathology prior to becoming a faculty member.
