Speakers
Stephen Knox Jones Jr PhD, Principal Investigator, EMBL Partnership Institute at the Vilnius University Life Sciences Center, Vilnius, Lithuania
Dr. Jones was born and trained in the United States. He earned his doctorate in Molecular Biology, Cellular Biology and Biochemistry at Brown University under the supervision of Dr. Richard Bennett. He undertook his postdoctoral research in CRISPR biochemistry and cellular aging with Dr. Ilya Finkelstein at the University of Texas. In 2021, he established his research group at the EMBL Partnership Institute in Vilnius University's Life Sciences Center, Lithuania, where he leads the group in their search to discover and characterise CRISPR nucleases and other programmable nucleases with next-generation biochemistry.
Stephen lives in Vilnius, Lithuania with his wife Eva and their greyhound, Audrey Sparkles. Beyond science, Stephen is also a musician, mechanic, adventurer and lover of life.
