Stephen B. Montgomery is a Professor of Pathology, Genetics, and Biomedical Data Science (courtesy) at Stanford University. He has made significant contributions to the field of genomics, particularly in mapping the effects of genetic variation on gene expression. His work involves comparing whole genomes and transcriptome data to pioneer the use of molecular outliers in identifying impactful rare variants. His laboratory leads major genomics initiatives, including analyses through the Genotype-Tissue-Expression (GTEx) Consortium and the NIH Common Fund MoTrPAC study. Montgomery's lab focuses on understanding the molecular effects of rare, environment-responsive genetic variants and has developed strategies for diagnosing individuals with undiagnosed genetic diseases. He is actively involved in prominent NIH consortia and has played vital roles in large-scale genomic projects. Montgomery has received multiple awards for his impactful work in genetics and is an active member of the Stanford research community, contributing to various educational and training programs.
