Dr. Craig Bassing obtained his PhD from the Duke University Medical School in 1997 where he trained with Xiao-Fan Wang in elucidating molecular mechanisms through which TGF-b signals growth inhibition. Subsequently, Dr. Bassing trained as a Postdoctoral Fellow and then Instructor in the laboratory of Dr. Frederick W. Alt at Harvard Medical School. His work focused on elucidation of the molecular mechanisms that regulate the initiation and proper repair of DNA double strand breaks during chromosomal V(D)J recombination. Dr. Bassing was promoted to an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School in 2004 with his own laboratory as a Junior Investigator of the CBR Institute for Biomedical Research. In January 2005, he joined the faculty of the University Of Pennsylvania School Of Medicine and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology. Dr. Bassing also is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Cancer Biology, an Assistant Investigator of the Abramson Family Cancer Research Institute, and an Investigator of the Joseph Stokes Jr. Research Institute of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia where his lab is located. |
