Richard M. Myers (born March 24, 1954) is an American geneticist and biochemist known for his work on the Human Genome Project (HGP). The National Human Genome Research Institute says the HGP “[gave] the world a resource of detailed information about the structure, organization and function of the complete set of human genes.” Myers' genome center, in collaboration with the Joint Genome Institute, contributed more than 10 percent of the data in the project. As of July 1, 2022, Myers is Chief Scientific Officer and President Emeritus of the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology, a non-profit research institute. Before that, Myers was President and Science Director of the Institute. He was previously the chair of the department of genetics at Stanford University and director of the Stanford Human Genome Center. His research focuses on the human genome with the goal of understanding how allelic variation and gene expression changes contribute to human traits, including diseases, behaviors and other phenotypes.
