The Snyder Lab

The Snyder Lab Humbly studying the source code of life. Visit http://snyderlab.stanford.edu/ Dr. Snyder received his Ph.D.

Michael Snyder is the Stanford Ascherman Professor and Chair of Genetics and the Director of the Center of Genomics and Personalized Medicine. training at the California Institute of Technology with Norman Davidson and carried out postdoctoral training at Stanford University with Ronald Davis. He is a leader in the field of functional genomics and proteomics. His laboratory study was the first to

perform a large-scale functional genomics project in any organism, and currently carries out a variety of projects in the areas of genomics and proteomics both in yeast and humans. These include the large-scale analysis of proteins using protein microarrays and the global mapping of the binding sites of chromosomal proteins. His laboratory built the first proteome chip for any organism and the first high resolution tiling array for the entire human genome. The Snyder laboratory sequenced the first genome (Acinetobacter) using high throughput DNA sequencing technologies, and invented RNA-Sequencing and Paired End-Sequencing using these technologies. Dr. Snyder co-founded Protometrix (now part of Invitrogen), Affomix and Metagenomix. He is the recipient of the Connecticut Medal of Science and the Pioneer Award in Proteomics.

Snyder Lab Publishes Global Multiomics Study Revealing How Geography and Ethnicity Shape Human Biology
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0092867426004678

An international team of researchers has completed one of the most comprehensive longitudinal molecular studies of human diversity ever conducted, uncovering how both ethnicity and geography shape human biology at multiple levels — from metabolism and immune function to the gut microbiome and biological aging.

Published in the journal Cell, the study emerged from the Human Personal Omics Profiling (hPOP) project — a global initiative launched through the Human Proteome Organization’s Human Proteome Project (HUPO-HPP). Researchers analyzed molecular data from 322 generally healthy individuals of European, East Asian, and South Asian ancestry living across Asia, Europe, and North America. The work combined a sweeping range of “multiomics” technologies to create a detailed molecular portrait of how genetics and environment interact to influence health and disease risk.

The Quest to Predict Disease Before Symptoms Strike
Could the signs of a heart attack months away be hiding in your watch?
Dr. Michael Snyder reveals more about these insights as well as how we are all so unique, one 'mutation' cannot tell us about our health outcomes as much as hundreds or thousands of genetic variants. Learn more:

From smartwatches to DNA fragments, scientists are building a ‘dashboard’ for human health, but a high-profile trial shows how difficult it is to prove the tech can save lives.

🤱🏽 New Umbilical Cord Research Study Identifies Important Early Metabolic States:
https://www.cell.com/cell-reports-medicine/fulltext/S2666-3791(25)00621-4

Leveraging previously untargeted metabolomics on both arterial and venous profiles, researchers identified early metabolic states that precede newborn adverse outcomes (e.g., respiratory distress syndrome, hyperbilirubinemia, and retinopathy of prematurity).
