Edwin M. Munro

As an undergraduate, Ed Munro pursued parallel studies of mathematics and biology. He then merged these paths as a graduate student with Garry Odell where he combined experimental and computational approaches to investigate dynamics of embryonic pattern formation and morphogenesis. After a brief and informal stint as a postdoc in Jim Priess’ lab at the FHCRC, he went on to co-found and jointly run the Center for Cell Dynamics, an NIH-funded Center of Excellence in Complex Systems Biology located at the Friday Harbor Labs – a small marine lab off the coast of Washington state where Tom Schroeder discovered the contractile ring and where Osama Shimamura isolated GFP from marine jellyfish. He is currently an assistant professor in the department of Molecular Genetics and Cell Biology, a member of the Institutes for Computation and for Biophysical Dynamics at the University of Chicago.
