Michael Snyder is the chair of genetics and director of the Center of Genomics and Personalized Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine. Snyder is a leader in the field of functional genomics and multiomics and one of the major participants of the ENCODE project. His laboratory was the first to perform a large-scale functional genomics project in any organism and has developed many technologies in genomics and proteomics. Snyder launched the field of personalized medicine by combining different state-of–the-art “omics'' technologies to perform the first longitudinal detailed integrative personal omics profile of a person, and his laboratory pioneered the use of wearables technologies (smart watches and continuous glucose monitoring) for precision health. He is a cofounder of many biotechnology companies.
