Steve Hsu

American theoretical physicist and genomics researcher — former VP Research at Michigan State — co-founder of Genomic Prediction — who works on the genomics of cognitive traits and has argued that polygenic screening for intelligence is both possible and ethical.

Creates the polygenic score methodology for predicting cognitive traits — Hsu's research on the genetic architecture of intelligence (that many thousands of variants each with small effects determine cognitive ability) and his Genomic Prediction company apply this to preimplantation genetic testing.
