Speaker Profile:
John Stamatoyannopoulos, M.D., is Associate Professor of Genome
Sciences and Medicine (Oncology) at the University of Washington School
of Medicine. He holds degrees in Biological Sciences, Symbolic Systems,
and Classics from Stanford University, and an M.D. from the University of
Washington. He completed residency in Internal Medicine at Brigham and
Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, and was a fellow in Oncology
and Hematology at Dana Farber Cancer Institute and the Massachusetts
General Hospital.
Dr. Stamatoyannopoulos’ laboratory focuses on decoding the regulatory
circuitry of the human genome through the application of high-throughput
molecular and computational technologies. Major ongoing efforts are
(i) to delineate the cis-regulatory architecture of the human and mouse
genomes; (ii) to map and analyze transcription factor regulatory networks;
(iii) to determine the functional consequences of disease-associated noncoding variation in regulatory DNA; and (iv) to develop novel technologies for visualizing and interrogating the regulatory genome. He directs the UW ENCODE Center, the Northwest Epigenome Center, and the High-Throughput Genomics Center at UW, which provides large-scale
sequencing and epigenetic analysis capabilities to diverse investigators
