In this talk, leading genetist Rudolf Jaenisch delivers a clear
overview of the challenges facing the cloning, dispelling many of the
misconceptions about cloning that are pervasive in popular media.
Rudolf Jaenisch
Professor of Biology, MIT Founding Member, Whitehead Institute for
Biomedical Research
Jaenisch is one of the founders of transgenic science (gene transfer
to create mouse models of human disease). His lab has produced mouse
models leading to new understanding of cancers and various
neurological diseases.
He received his doctorate in medicine from the University of Munich in
1967. He came to the Whitehead from the University of Hamburg in
Germany, where he was head of the Department of Tumor Virology at the
Heinrich Pette Institute.
