Through a series of high-profile symposia, lectures, and media appearances, Stock has catalyzed broad public debate about the social and public policy implications of today’s revolution in molecular genetics and bioinformatics, and about how most effectively to translate progress in basic science into improved therapeutics and healthcare.

Dr. Stock is a strong advocate for aggressive biomedical funding and research, and for cautious governmental oversight.

He sits on the editorial board of the American Journal of Bioethics, The Journal of Evolution and Technology, and Rejuvenation Research and was invited to submit an Advisory Memo to the President on the challenges ahead. Stock has been profiled in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, MIT Tech Review and Lancet. He makes buysoma regular appearances on television and radio, including CNN, PBS, NPR, Bloomberg and the BBC and frequently debates biotech policy with Francis Fukuyama, Jeremy Rifkin, Leon Kass, Daniel Callahan, Bill McKibben, George Annas and other prominent voices who would rein in biomedical research.

Dr. Stock’s book, Redesigning Humans: Our Inevitable Genetic Future with Houghton Mifflin won the prestigious Kistler Book Prize for Science books and was nominated for a Wired Rave Award. Among his other books are Engineering The Human Germline: An Exploration of the Science and Ethics of Altering the Genes We Pass to Our Children with Oxford University Press, Metaman: The Merging of Humans and Machine into a Global Superorganism with Simon & Schuster, and the best selling, Book of Questions with Workman Press, which has sold over 2 million copies, been translated into 18 languages and is now in its 61st printing.
