This article does not seem to follow the NPOV policy, and has claims which need citations in order to be considered verifiable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.134.100.137 (talk) 03:48, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • What I think should be changed (include citations): The current Dietrich Stephan page has large inaccuracies and bad references and should be replaced with the suggested content that is accurate
  • Why it should be changed: For accuracy, neutrality, and secondary references

Dietrich A. Stephan (born August 25, 1969) is an American and European geneticist known for his work in genomics, precision medicine, and healthcare innovation.

Early life and education

[edit]

Stephan received his Bachelor of Science degree from Carnegie Mellon University, where he now serves on The Dean's Council for the Mellon College if Science. He earned his Ph.D. in Human Genetics from the University of Pittsburgh, from which he was awarded the Legacy Laureate Award.[1] He subsequently completed postdoctoral training at the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) of the National Institutes of Health where he focused on the genetics of rare and complex diseases.

Career

[edit]

Stephan was Deputy Director for Discovery Reseach and Director of the Neurogenomics Division at the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) in Arizona where he identified the genetic causes of rare and common diseases, including sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS),[2] Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS),[3] and memory disorders.[4]

Subsequently, Stephan contributed to the development of large-scale genome sequencing infrastructure serving multiple institutes of the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) with several academic institutions, including Stanford University, Yale, Duke University, and UCLA. This platform supported a wide range of research programs into the causes of neurological and mental health conditions.[5]

In 2006, Stephan co-founded Navigenics, a company offering direct-to-consumer genetic testing. Navigenics was one of the first companies to provide consumers with access to genomic risk assessments for common diseases.[6]

Stephan led the Gene Partnership Initiative at Children's Hospital of Boston, a large-scale genome sequencing effort, to understand the genetic causes of pediatric diseases.[7]

Stephan has a track record of mentoring with two of his students having won the Siemens-Westinghouse Science Fair.[8]

Awards and recognition
