George Stamatoyannopoulos (Greek: Γεώργιος Σταματογιαννόπουλος; 11 March 1934 – 16 June 2018) was a Greek geneticist who taught at the University of Washington.

Born in Athens on 11 March 1934, Stamatoyannopoulos earned a medical degree and doctorate from the

American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy in 1996, which he established because he felt that the American Society of Human Genetics did not fully discuss gene therapy.[1] In 2004, he was made a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.[5]

He is the father of John Stamatoyannopoulos, Professor of Genome Sciences at the University of Washington School of Medicine. [2][6]

Stamatoyannopoulos died on 16 June 2018, at the age of 84, and was buried near Kyparissia.[7]
