The Corn Lab

The Corn Lab develops and uses next-generation genome editing and regulation technologies. We work on both fundamental biological discovery and potential therapies for human genetic diseases. Our focus is the mechanisms by which cells repair their DNA, maintain and differentiate hematopoietic stem cells, and dispose of entire organelles. Through technology development, mechanistic cellular biochemistry, and translational projects, we are working to unravel complex cellular phenotypes to further biological understanding and improve human health.

Our work is supported by the NOMIS Foundation, the Lotte and Adolf Hotz-Sprenger Foundation, the Swiss National Science Foundation, the European Research Council, the NCCR RNA & Disease, and the Fanconi Cancer Foundation.
