Prof. Michael Snyder

Biography

Michael Snyder is the Chairman of Genetics and the Director of the Center for Genomics and Personalized Medicine at Stanford. Dr. Snyder received his Ph.D. training at CalTech and carried out postdoctoral training at Stanford. His laboratory study was the first to perform a large-scale functional genomics project in any organism, and has launched many technologies in genomics and proteomics. These include the development of proteome chips, high resolution tiling arrays for the entire human genome, methods for global mapping of transcription factor binding sites, paired end sequencing for mapping of structural variation in eucaryotes, and RNA-Seq. These technologies have been used for characterizing genomes, proteomes and regulatory networks.
