Ph.D., VP Cellular Engineering, Gameto
Biography
Prior to joining Gameto as the VP of Cellular Engineering, Christian Kramme completed his PhD at Harvard Medical School working with the Sponsored Research Agreement of Gameto and Professor George Church’s lab. His thesis work “Multimodal investigation of human in vitro oogenesis” was based on high-throughput screening of transcription factors for generation of human germ cells, oocytes, and ovarian supporting cells to model genetic causes of infertility. Prior to Harvard, Christian received his B.S. in Molecular Genetics from UCLA, graduating Magna Cum Laude. While at UCLA, Christian conducted research on cannabinoids for migraine and chronic pain treatment. His work on synthetic biology and cell engineering for human oogenesis has yielded numerous patents and publications.
Session Abstract – PMWC 2023 Silicon Valley
Track 3 - January 26 9.00 A.M.-4.30 P.M.
Track Co-Chairs:
Linda Giudice, UCSF
Yoel Sadovsky, UPMC
Researchers have long been recognizing the uniqueness of women’s health and its substantial effect on clinical practice, acknowledging the increasing appreciation of the importance of multidisciplinary approaches to health and disease. In every organ system, there are diseases that are unique to women, more common in women than in men, or characterized by differences in disease course in women compared to men. This Track will focus on the following topics related to Women’s Health:
