Rudolf Jaenisch uses pluripotent cells (ES and iPS cells) to study the genetic and epigenetic basis of human diseases such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, autism and cancer.
Rudolf Jaenisch (born on April 22, 1942) is a Professor of Biology at MIT and a founding member of the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research. He is a pioneer of transgenic science, in which an animal’s genetic makeup is altered.
Bio. Jaenisch, a Whitehead Institute Founding Member and National Medal of Science recipient, received his doctorate in medicine from the University of Munich in 1967 in the lab of German phage researcher P. H. Hofschneider.
Rudolf Jaenisch produced the first transgenic animals in the 1970. In the 80’s and 90’s his lab made many contributions to the understanding of cancer, neurological diseases and the role of DNA methylation in mammalian development using transgenic mice.

9 de may. de 2024 · Rudolf Jaenisch is a German biologist known for his development of the first transgenic animal (an organism that has had genes from another species inserted into its genome) and for his research on epigenetic mechanisms, the means by which environmental factors surrounding the cell alter gene.
