Welcome to Zac

Welcome to Zac Kontarakis, who is the head of the new Genome Engineering and Measurement Lab (GEML). The GEML is a new hub, jointly developed by Jacob Corn and the Functional Genomics Center Zurich, that will focus on the development of innovative approaches to genome engineering and their deployment to the Zurich research community. You may know Zac’s work already from his mind-blowing papers on mechanisms of genetic compensation. Stay tuned for more from Zac and the GEML!
