Prof. Allan Bradley, Ph.D., President, Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute
Professor Bradley completed his Ph.D. studies in genetics at the University of Cambridge
in 1984. During his time in Cambridge Dr. Bradley co-developed the embryonic stem
cell system. Embryonic stem cells can be isolated from mouse embryos, grown &
genetically manipulated in culture and then used to re-create mice with these mutations.
In 1987, Dr. Bradley moved to Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas as an
Assistant Professor and was promoted to full Professor in 1995. In 1993 Dr. Bradley
received a prestigious appointment as an Investigator with the Howard Hughes Medical
Institute. At Baylor, Dr. Bradley’s laboratory pursued the analysis of gene function using
knockout mice and has published the function of numerous genes using this technology,
with an emphasis on tumor suppression and embryonic development. Dr. Bradley’s
laboratory has also developed novel methods to engineer the genomes of mice, including
point mutations and large chromosomal changes. Dr. Bradley is the author of over 170
scientific articles and book chapters. He has been active in commercialising technology
from his laboratory by founding several companies including a publicly traded genomics
company, Lexicon Genetics Inc. In November 2000, Dr. Bradley took up an appointment
as Director of the Sanger Centre. In July 2002 he was elected Fellow of the Royal
Society.
