David Kingsley

Dr. Kingsley received his undergraduate degree in Biology from Yale University in 1981, and his Ph.D. in Biology from MIT in 1986. He trained in somatic cell genetics as a graduate student with Monty Krieger, and in molecular mouse genetics as a Lucille P. Markey postdoctoral fellow with Neal Copeland and Nancy Jenkins. As a Professor and Howard Hughes investigator in the Department of Developmental Biology at Stanford, Dr. Kingsley has identified the molecular basis of several classical mouse skeletal mutations, dissected complex regulatory elements in developmental control genes, and pioneered the genetic and genomic analysis of vertebrate evolution using natural populations of threespine stickleback fish. He has received the Belknap Prize and Henry Chittendon Award from Yale University, the Conklin Medal for distinguished research in Developmental Biology, and is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences, USA.
