Jose L Garcia-Perez

I received my Ph.D. in Molecular Biology from the University of Granada-Spanish Research Council (CSIC) in 2003, where I studied under Dr. Manuel Carlos Lopez the mobilization of repeated DNA in Trypanosomes. In late 2003, I joined the University of Michigan Medical School (Department of Human Genetics, Lab of Dr. John V. Moran) as a post-doctoral fellow. In 2007, I was promoted to Research Investigator in the University of Michigan, and since late 2008 I direct my own research as an independent Group Leader. In January 2012, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute appointed me as an International Early Career Scientist. I have worked in the field of transposable elements for more than20 years and have published over 50 articles (the total includes articles, reviews, book chapters, perspectives, and a thesis).
