Joanna Wysocka is a Lorry Lokey Professor in the Department of Chemical and Systems Biology and the Department of Developmental Biology at Stanford University School of Medicine, a Member of the Stanford Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine and an HHMI Investigator. She obtained her MSc degree at the University of Warsaw, Poland and moved to the US for her PhD work at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory with Dr. Winship Herr. After graduating in 2003, she did her postdoctoral training at the Rockefeller University, where she studied histone methylation with Dr. C. David Allis. She became a faculty member at Stanford in 2006, and an HHMI investigator in 2015. Her research is focused on gene regulatory mechanisms governing human development, disease and evolution. Honors include the Searle Scholar and W.M. Keck Foundation Distinguished Young Scholar Awards, International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) Outstanding Young Investigator Award and Momentum Award, and Vilcek Prize for Creative Promise. She was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2018 and as EMBO international member in 2019.
