Jan M. Skotheim PhD

Jan Skotheim is a Professor of Biology and by courtesy of Chemical and Systems Biology at Stanford University. His interdisciplinary research group draws on diverse scientific cultures to develop a creative, rigorous, and quantitative approach to the fundamental question of how growth drives cell division. His diverse backgrounds include mathematics, physics, engineering, biochemistry, genetics, and cell, molecular, and systems biology. This reflects his interdisciplinary training (BS Mathematics; BS Physics - MIT 1999; Ph.D. Applied Mathematics - Cambridge 2004; Postdoctoral training Genetics, Cell, and Systems Biology - Rockefeller)
