Jane Skok PhD

Jane Skok's interest in visualizing recombination in individual cells, tracing the dynamic changes in chromosome architecture and nuclear location at different stages of this complex process, unites two lifelong passions: science and art.
After completing her PhD in Immunology and Genetics at the Imperial Cancer Research Fund in Lincoln's Inn Fields, Jane took 10 years off and pursued training in art while caring for her young children. She then returned to science, joining David Gray's lab at Imperial College London as a postdoctoral fellow to study B cell biology and acquiring expertise in Mandy Fisher's lab to understand how the nuclear organization of the antigen receptor genes helps regulate V(D)J recombination.
