| Mark Van Doren completed his undergraduate work at Cornell University where he conducted research with Efraim Racker, and earned his Ph.D. in 1994 studying nervous system development with Jim Posakony at the University of California, San Diego. He then initiated his studies on germ cell development through postdoctoral work with Ruth Lehmann, first at the Whitehead Institute in Cambridge, MA and then at the Skirball Institute at New York University Medical School. He joined the faculty of Johns Hopkins University in 1999 and was named a Pew Scholar in the Biomedical Sciences in 2000. He has since remained at Johns Hopkins, becoming a tenured associate professor in 2006. His current research focuses on organogenesis and the creation of sexual dimorphism in the gonad, and how interactions with somatic cells in this environment influence germ cell development. |
