Biography

Stephen B. Montgomery is a Professor in the Department of Pathology and the Department of Genetics at Stanford University School of Medicine. He is also affiliated with the Department of Biomedical Data Science and has a background in Computer Science. His research primarily focuses on the genetic influences on gene regulation and expression, aiming to uncover the molecular and cellular mechanisms that contribute to human traits. With a particular interest in the human genome, Montgomery investigates how genetic variations affect individual differences in health and disease, including factors like insulin production and aging. His work includes participatory projects such as the Genotype-Tissue Expression project, and he is actively involved in large-scale initiatives funded by the National Institutes of Health, which study the biology of physical activity and its health implications.
