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.

AI Longevity Lab: Hacking Healthspan, Healing, and Human Futures
A first-of-its-kind hybrid program at the intersection of AI, healthspan, and human futures.
Learn directly live from Stanford faculty who teach Stanford students — blending research, AI practice, and entrepreneurship into a first-of-its-kind hybrid program (onsite at Stanford or online).

The program consists of three independent 4-week modules — no prerequisites — and three grading options.

Only audit –> no grade, badge, or certificate

Stanford Genetics Department Badges in AI & Longevity (on blockchain) – earned with a grade of C or above.

Module 1: Stanford Genetics Department Explorer Badge in AI and Longevity (on Blockchain)

Module 2: Stanford Genetics Department Researcher Badge in AI and Longevity (on Blockchain)

Module 3: Stanford Genetics Department Futurist Badge in AI and Longevity (on Blockchain)

Using tools like ChatGPT, Soopra, Midjourney, ElevenLabs, Lovable, and Replit, you’ll create your own:

AI Explainer or Portal – communicate the biology of aging in new ways

AI Research System – vibecode a no-code research assistant for longevity science

AI Intervention Platform – prototype a predictive dashboard, wellness tool and roadmap for extending healthspan

Modules at a glance

AI Longevity Explorer Badge – Generative AI basics + aging biology + personalized medicine

AI Longevity Researcher Badge – AI-assisted literature mining, molecular pathways, experimental design

AI Longevity Futurist Badge – Systems biology, drug discovery, aging vaccines, predictive models, future interventions

Detailed Program Syllabus

Project Options

Use AI to create a structured research review + visual model of an aging system

OR design an AI “research assistant” system (vibecoded with Lovable/Replit) that queries aging data and generates hypotheses

Final showcase integrates:

An AI-driven explainer or portal

An AI-assisted research system or review

An AI-powered intervention system, dashboard, or roadmap

Projects are published on the Stanford AI & Longevity Lab website.

Michael Snyder talks with Gill Eapen at Scientific Sense about how Snyder lLb collects and analyzes deep data from variables and other technologies to transform healthcare through analysis, including recent research published in Cell : A Comparison of deep multiomics profiles across ethnicity geography and age.

Despite extensive research molecular differences in human populations and the influence of ancestry, age, geography and diet are poorly understood.Listen to this podcast here:

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.

https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(26)00467-8

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.
