Brad Merrill PhD

Dr. Brad Merrill is the Associate Professor of University of Illinois at Chicago For about a decade, Brad Merrill's lab at University of Illinois at Chicago has been using mutations and mutagenesis to examine developmental biology and stem cell biology based questions using the mouse and mouse embryonic stem cells as model systems. His group has heavily used CRISPR-Cas9, and is interested in elucidating how the Cas9 interfaces with the biology of the systems it is used in. Brad also established and directs the Genome Editing Core at UIC, which provides broad Cas9-based genome editing services and DNA sequencing services to the research community.
