Dr. Tony Perry has studied mammalian genome engineering for two decades. He is an author of the first reports of mouse and pig cloning and his lab recently produced England’s first cloned mouse. His work on the earliest moments of mouse development lead to a method of transgenesis that he predicted over a decade ago could lead to preimplantation genetic surgery as envisioned today by some via genome editing. His lab has since efficiently generated genome-edited mice using a method of sperm injection into eggs (ICSI) that is routine in many human fertility clinics.
