Dr. Stephen C.J. Parker is an Associate Professor at the University of Michigan, affiliated with the Department of Biostatistics, Computational Medicine & Bioinformatics, and Human Genetics. His research focuses on computational biology, functional genomics, and diabetes genetics, leveraging single-cell profiling, chromatin biology, and multi-omic integration to understand complex metabolic diseases.
Current and former students include PhD candidates in Bioinformatics, Genetics, and Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP). The Parker Lab collaborates with institutions such as the National Human Genome Research Institute and Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine, developing tools like Ataqv and YAMDA for genomic analysis. Research integrates cross-species genomics and population studies to decode non-coding genome contributions to disease susceptibility.
Recent publications analyze single-cell gene expression, chromatin dynamics, and disease-associated variants, with a focus on type 2 diabetes and metabolic tissues. The lab welcomes doctoral, masters, and undergraduate researchers, emphasizing interdisciplinary training and translational genomics.
