Fred W. Kolling, PhD, Core PI
- B.S. Microbiology, University of Rhode Island, 2009
- PhD Genetics and Genomics, University of Connecticut, 2015
- Postdoctoral Fellow, Neuroscience, University of Connecticut, 2016
Fred received his PhD from the University of Connecticut in 2015, where he applied single cell genomics techniques to study stem cell biology and the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). After a brief post-doc in the neurobiology field, he worked as a field application scientist at 10x Genomics before coming to Dartmouth in 2017. He serves as the Co-Director of the Genomics Shared Resource which is the primary resource for next generation sequencing technologies at Dartmouth. His interests include developing and implementing new genomics technologies, workflow automation and is passionate about collaborating with researchers to apply these methods to their work. Outside of the lab Fred enjoys hiking, biking and gardening with his family, as well as home brewing and woodworking.
Laurent Perreard, Research Scientist
With a BS in Biochemistry and a MS in Cellular and Molecular biology, Laurent worked in various settings in the field of research, both in France and in the US. Over his 25+ years of experience he acquired a broad range of technological knowledge, especially in genomic and analytical techniques. More recently, he broadened his skills in Epigenomics, Single-cell sequencing and Spatiolomics.
In his spare time Laurent likes to relax in nature with his family, enjoying the array of outdoor activities the Upper Valley has to offer, especially hiking, cross-country skiing and swimming.
