摘要

The ISSCR is delighted to recognize the new generation of scientists committed to stem cell biology, with the award of the second annual Outstanding Young Investigator Award, supported by the University of Pittsburgh, this year given to Joanna Wysocka of Stanford University.Joanna Wysocka is a relative newcomerto the stem cell biology field but has already made invaluable contributions to our understanding of how stem cells regulate their state and remain multipotent, poised to respond to various differentiation cues.Joanna is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical and Systems Biology and the Department of Developmental Biology at Stanford University. She received a Masters degree in Molecular Biology at Warsaw University in Poland and then earned her PhD in biochemistry from the Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics at the Polish Academy of Sciences and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratories, mentored by Winship Herr. After graduating in 2003, she began a postdoctoral fellowship in C. David Allis's laboratory at Rockefeller University, where she investigated histone methylation and gene regulation.
