Dr. Laralynne Przybyla
UC Scientific Director, Laboratory for Genomics Research, University of California San Francisco
Laralynne Przybyla, PhD, is the UC Scientific Director at the Laboratory for Genomics Research, a joint industry-academia hybrid institute between UCSF, UC Berkeley, and GSK. Her research has focused on cell and developmental biology, including building human iPSC-based models to uncover the molecular basis of developmental processes and disease states. Dr. Przybyla obtained her PhD in Biology from MIT and has experience leading technology development teams in both academia and industry. At the LGR, Laralynne leads the UC team to develop and implement new CRISPR-based functional genomics models, tools, and platforms, with the goal of creating and disseminating next-generation technologies and furthering our understanding of the mechanisms and genetics underlying human disease biology.
