Keynote Plenary:
DR. ERIK JORGENSEN
Investigator, Howard Hughes Medical Institute
Distinguished Professor, Biology, University of Utah
Dr. Erik Jorgensen received his Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Animal Resources from the University of California at Berkeley in 1979. He completed his graduate work with Dr. Richard Garber and received his Ph.D. from the Department of Genetics at the University of Washington in 1981. Postdoctoral work was conducted in H. Robert Horvitz’s laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where Jorgensen initiated studies into the genetic basis of GABA transmission in the nematode C. elegans. In 1994 Jorgensen established his own laboratory in the Department of Biology at the University of Utah. Jorgensen is currently a Distinguished Professor in the Department of Biology and an Adjunct Professor in the Departments of Human Genetics and Bioengineering. In 2005, Jorgensen was named an Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Jorgensen has held the position of Visiting Scientist at Charité Universitätsmedizin in Berlin, Germany since 2013. Dr. Jorgensen studies the molecular mechanisms of synaptic transmission using the nematode C. elegans and the mouse. His studies have focused on four main areas: neurotransmitters, exocytosis, endocytosis and genome engineering.
