CV
Uwe Maskos is a native Bavarian. He studied Physics and Chemistry. A graduate of New College, Oxford, he carried out his doctoral work with Professor Sir Edwin M. Southern (Lasker 2005), inventor of the ‘Southern Blot’, pursuing a highly original project, creating what was then going to become the first ever ‘DNA chips’. Having finished his DPhil at an early age, he went on to work in Neurobiology, a discipline that had started to captivate his interest already for a while. In Ron McKay’s laboratory, working at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), he developed a method of intra-uterine transplantation of neural stem cells. This was subsequently used to study the integration of cells derived from knock-out (KO) animals, human stem cells, and from differentiated embryonic stem (ES) cells, that he was also able to derive de novo. He was tenured working with Professor Jean-Pierre Changeux developing novel tools to study the neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) in vivo. He is heading a Research Unit at the Institut Pasteur. In 2010 he received the Prix Duquesne.
