David Knapp completed his Ph.D. in Experimental Medicine at the University of British Columbia where he used single cell techniques to study the regulation of hematopoietic stem cell survival, proliferation, self-renewal, and differentiation.
He then performed his postdoctoral training at the University of Oxford where he worked to develop tools for genome engineering and synthetic biology. He has now joined IRIC as a Principal Investigator where he is putting these tools together to study the molecular basis of cell identity.
