CFG - About us
Our team consists of PhD-level scientists and technical personnel, all with expertise in the various techniques required for CRISPR-related projects. We are a national SciLifeLab National infrastructure and KI core facility located in Biomedicum in Solna.
Meet our team
Bernhard Schmierer, PhD
Scientific Director and Headstarted working with CRISPR technology in 2013, shortly after publication of the seminal papers describing CRISPR/Cas9 application in eukaryotic cells. Since then, his work has focused on both CRISPR precision genome engineering and the applications of CRISPR in genetic screening. In 2017, he became Scientific Director and Head of CFG.
Soniya Dhanjal, PhD
Research Infrastructure Specialist - Pooled Screening & Precision Editingjoined CFG in 2019. Previously, she worked as a Lab Manager and Post Doctoral Fellow in the field of DNA repair and cancer, thus bringing in organizational skills and experience as a molecular biologist.
Miriam Selle
Lab Technicianjoined the CFG facility in 2020. She has previous experience as a lab technician in a biochemical lab where she used CRISPR in a myogenic study of the DMD gene.
Anneke Navis, PhD
Research Infrastructure Specialist - Precision Editingjoined CFG in 2020. She previously used genome engineering techniques in her postdoctoral research to study transcriptional regulation in cancer. Anneke mainly focuses on precision editing, designing and using different CRISPR modalities such as HDR, base-editing and prime editing to create edited cell lines.
Olga Khorosjutina, PhD
Research Infrastructure Specialist - Pooled Screeningjoined CFG in 2021. With a Master鈥檚 degree in Chemistry, a PhD from 探花精选 in S. pombe transcriptional regulation, and postdoctoral research in drug discovery, Olga brings a wide range of technologies and expertise to CFG.
