Sterling K. Clarren is one of the world's leading researchers into fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), an umbrella term encompassing fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS), alcohol-related neurodevelopmental disorder, static encephalopathy:alcohol exposed and prenatal alcohol exposed. He was the Robert A. Aldrich Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle, Washington, and doctor for the university's FAS diagnostic and prevention clinic prior to becoming the CEO and Scientific Director of the Canada FASD Research Network.

Clarren has studied FASD since 1975 and helped to establish the definitions of FAS and FAE. He wrote the first article on the neuropathology of FAS, and developed the first non-human primate model for studying dose-response. He has testified about FASD before the United States Congress and the Washington State Legislature. Provided by Wikipedia
