Stephen B. Montgomery is a Professor of Pathology, Genetics, and Biomedical Data Science at Stanford University, with a courtesy appointment in Computer Science. He leads major genomics initiatives, including the GREGoR Consortium and NIH consortia like MoTrPAC and GTEx. His research focuses on genetic variation's impact on gene expression and disease mechanisms, with contributions to rare disease diagnostics and epigenetic studies in Alzheimer’s.
Education: B.A.Sc. in Engineering Physics (2002) and Ph.D. in Genetics (2006), both from the University of British Columbia. Professional roles include Director of Genome Informatics in Pathology and faculty roles in Biomedical Data Science programs. Awards include the ASHG Early Career Award (2019), Stanford Population Genetics Prize (2023), and Pathology Research Mentor Award (2024).
Research interests span transcriptomics, structural variants, and multi-omics approaches to understand disease. His lab’s work includes identifying molecular effects of exercise, diagnosing rare diseases via RNA sequencing, and analyzing epigenetic changes in neurological disorders. Collaborations with global consortia drive open data sharing and diagnostic advancements.
