The Jackson Laboratory, United States
Prof. William C. Skarnes received his Ph.D. in 1992 from the University of Toronto where he pioneered gene-trapping technology in mouse embryonic stem cells. Working at the University of California at Berkeley, the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute and the Jackson Laboratory, Prof. Skarnes has devoted much of his career to the generation of large-scale public genetic resources in mouse and human stem cells. These resources include BayGenomics, the Knockout Mouse Project (KOMP), the European Conditional Mutant Mouse (EUCOMM) project, the iPSC Neurodegeneration Initiative (iNDI) and the Molecular Phenotypes of Null Alleles in Cells (MorPhiC) project. Prof. Skarnes’s laboratory is currently exploiting new genome-editing technologies to study gene function and to model disease in human stem cells.
