Address:
The genomics of rare disease, cancer genetics, genome stability, and telomeropathies
Dr. M. Stephen Meyn is a Professor in the Division of Genetics & Metabolism, Department of Pediatrics and Co-Director of the UW NORD Center of Excellence for Rare Diseases.
Dr. Meyn’s research interests are broad – from fundamental studies of DNA repair and telomere biology to novel clinical applications of genome sequencing and the ethics of genetic testing.
Dr. Meyn’s current work focuses on discovering new disease genes, developing novel clinical applications for 3rd generation sequencing, and advancing our understanding of the telomeropathies. He founded the UW Undiagnosed Disease Program and now is developing BadgerSeq, a project to radically improve rapid genome sequencing of newborn infants through the use of AI-driven patient selection and long-read sequencing.
