Stephen Turner

I am a principal scientist at Colossal Biosciences and Form Bio specializing in bioinformatics engineering in support of species restoration and conservation using synthetic biology and genome engineering. I have a M.S. in statistics and Ph.D. in genetics, and did my postdoc in epidemiology. I founded and directed University of Virginia’s Bioinformatics Core from 2011-2019 before going into consulting to build bioinformatics and data science solutions for the US Government in public health, defense, and national security. I love talking about genomics, bioinformatics, R, Docker, de-extinction, trail running, and homebrewing.
