Biography

Gerald Crabtree is a Professor in the Department of Developmental Biology, with a focus on the intersection of chromatin regulation and cancer biology. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and has served as an investigator for the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. His research has uncovered significant insights into how mutations in chromatin regulatory complexes contribute to human cancers and neurological diseases. His studies aim to elucidate the fundamental mechanisms by which these complexes function in the brain and their implications for understanding the biology of various diseases. Gereral has developed innovative methodologies to modify chromatin regulation in living cells and is actively working on new ways to create conditional alleles of mammalian genes using synthetic ligands, aiming to further dissect and understand the roles of chromatin in biological processes.
