Stephen Turner
I’m Head of Genomics Strategy at Colossal Biosciences working on 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 bioinformatics, epidemiology, and data science. I was a professor in Public Health at the University of Virginia School of Medicine and founding director of UVA’s Bioinformatics Core from 2011-2019. I taught graduate courses in data science and bioinformatics, and wrote the Biological Data Science with R textbook to accompany the course. I left academia for consulting 2019-2023 to build bioinformatics and data science solutions for the US Government in public health, defense, and national security. I’ve been working in de-extinction and conservation genomics ever since. I love talking about data science, genomics, bioinformatics, R, Docker, de-extinction, trail running, and homebrewing.
