Bio

Christopher German

Keynote Speaker

Mission Information Volunteer

Chris has lived with type 1 diabetes (T1D) for nearly 35 years, since the age of 6. His family got involved with Breakthrough T1D at the time of his diagnosis and has been involved with this organization in some capacity ever since.

Chris is currently a senior scientist at Myriad Genetics, developing, overseeing, and reporting the analytical studies needed for tests that inform cancer patients of chemotherapy treatment eligibility in order to work on regulatory body approvals. Chris continues to remain involved with Breakthrough T1D outside of his professional career because he wants to see cures for a disease that affects him and millions of others.

In his free time, he enjoys backcountry skiing, mountain biking, hiking, a glass of whiskey, reading, and doing as much of it all as possible with his wife and two young boys.
