Tom Misteli

Misteli is best known for his work on elucidation of how genomes function in living cells.

[Ref 1] While a post-doc at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, New York, United States, he developed methods to visualize proteins in the nucleus of living mammalian cells allowing for the first time to study gene expression in intact cells.

His more recent work focuses on the role of genome organization and nuclear architecture on differentiation and disease.

He serves on the editorial boards of Science, Cell and PLOS Biology.

He co-authored the influential report by the US National Academy of Sciences "Toward Precision Medicine".
