EVENT: Raine Lecture - Professor Gerald L Crabtree

Dr Gerald Crabtree is Professor of Pathology and Professor of Developmental Biology at Stanford University School of Medicine. He is also an Investigator of Howard Hughes Medical Institute.

Dr Crabtree's laboratory is studying the interaction between the signaling pathways and genetic circuits regulating embryonic development. To modulate and explore these circuits, his laboratory members are also designing and synthesizing small molecules that rapidly and reversibly activate or inhibit the products of specific genes critical to these circuits, thereby allowing precise temporal analysis of their functions. Dr Crabtree has published over 220 papers with many in Nature, Science and Cell.
