Area of expertise and relationship to Emmanuelle Charpentier
Is responsible for the Umeå Zebrafish Facility, where several research groups work practically with genetic scissors in their respective projects. In his own research, he uses the CRISPR-Cas9 technology to mutate genes that are important for muscle development and regeneration. He also studies how these mutations affect the growth and spread of muscle tumors.
