Presenter: Stephen Montgomery, Endowed Professor of Pathology, Genetics, Biomedical Data Science, Computer Science, Stanford University

Description: N/A

Bio: Stephen Montgomery is an Endowed Professor of Pathology, Genetics, Biomedical Data Science and, by courtesy, Computer Science at Stanford University. He has trained in multiple countries including Canada, Germany, England, and Switzerland. He is best known for his work mapping the effects of genetic variation to gene expression and authored the first publications that compared whole genomes and transcriptome data within a human population and pioneered the use of molecular outliers to identify impactful rare variants (Montgomery et al, 2010, Montgomery et al, 2011).
