2023 Keynote Speaker Mario R. Capecchi, PhD
Hypertension 2023
Opening Keynote Lecture
Mario R. Capecchi, PhD
University of Utah School of Medicine
Distinguished Professor Human Genetic and Biology
Adjunct Professor Oncological Sciences
Winner, 2007 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine
Dr. Capecchi is known for his pioneering work on the development of gene targeting in mice. This technology allows creation of mutations in any desired gene, providing virtually complete freedom to manipulate the genome of living mice. His work has revolutionized the study of mammalian biology and is used to understand countless diseases by scientists worldwide. In 2007, he was recognized for this achievement with the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine.
His current research is directed at determining the molecular mechanism responsible for chronic anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorders.
