Frank Chan is a Group Leader at the Friedrich Miescher Laboratory, Max Planck Campus Tübingen in Germany. A leader in Evo-Devo, his group studies how the genome functions while constantly changing. His work leverages cross-species hybrid stem cells and rapidly evolving populations like the “Longshanks mice” and combines single-cell sequencing, tissue engineering, and image analysis. A Hongkonger by origin, Frank earned his BA (Wesleyan University) and Ph.D. (Developmental Biology, Stanford) in the US. In 2013, he started his group in Tübingen, Germany, and won an ERC Starting Grant (2015) to work on in vitro crosses.
