Justin McDonough, Ph.D.

In my role, I specialize in advancing precision genome editing for human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). My focus extends to providing JAX researchers with tailored CRISPR-edited hiPSC lines, optimized through meticulous CRISPR protocols ensuring both high efficiency and throughput.

Heading a dedicated team of scientists, our mission is to engineer and deliver top-tier stem cell models to JAX researchers. My commitment extends to rigorous quality control measures, ensuring the excellence of both new and edited stem cell lines.

I also serve as a project manager for the iPSC Neurodegeneration Disease Initiative (iNDI). Collaborating closely with iNDI's PI, Dr. Bill Skarnes, our focus involves building a substantial collection of meticulously controlled and high-quality iPSC lines, alongside isogenic controls.
