Elaine Fuchs is renowned for her research in skin biology, its stem cells and associated disorders, including cancers and inflammation, publishing >370 manuscripts. She received her Ph.D. from Princeton, postdoctorate at MIT, and has been faculty at University of Chicago and now Rockefeller University, where she is an Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Her awards include the National Medal of Science, L’Oreal-UNESCO Award, International Society for Stem Cell Research Innovation Award, the Gairdner International Award and most recently the Franklin Medal. Fuchs holds membership in the National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Medicine, American Philosophical Society, Pontifical Academy of Sciences, and the Royal Society. In today’s class, she’ll discuss the use of skin stem cells for regenerative medicine, their biology and niches and the signals, transcriptional and chromatin landscapes that drive their expression in tissue homeostasis.
