DESCRIPTION:Prof. Gerald Schwank\, ETHZ\, Zurich (CH)\nBIOENGINEERING SEMI
 NAR\n\nBio:\nGerald Schwank started his group as an Assistant Professor of
  Stem Cell Biology & Disease Modeling in October 2014. He studied Genetics
  and Microbiology at the University of Vienna\, and obtained his PhD in 20
 09 from the University of Zurich under the supervision of Prof. Konrad Bas
 ler. During his PhD he studied growth control in the Drosophila wing disc 
 epithelium\, and found that complementary gradients of growth factors driv
 e uniform cell proliferation. After an additional two years at the Univers
 ity of Zurich as a postdoctoral fellow\, he moved in 2011 to the Netherlan
 ds to the lab of Prof. Hans Clevers. There he focused on technologies that
  allow in vitro long-term expansion of somatic stem cells. He earned recog
 nition for his work on genome editing in somatic stem cells. He was awarde
 d with the SNSF Advanced Postdoc Fellowship and the HSFP Long-Term Fellows
 hip.
