Biography
Catriona Jamieson is a leading physician scientist who has specialized in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) and leukemia. She discovered missplicing, RNA hyperediting, and splice isoform switching as mechanisms governing human cancer stem cell maintenance in selective niches. These discoveries have helped to shed light on the underlying mechanisms of cancer and have opened up new avenues for targeted therapies. Dr. Jamieson's contributions to the field of precision medicine include her pivotal role in the rescue and development of the JAK inhibitor fedratinib for the treatment of myelofibrosis. Additionally, she is known for her unwavering dedication to advancing innovative therapies and her outstanding leadership as the director of the Sanford Stem Cell Institute at UCSD and as a cofounder of Impact Biosciences and Aspera Biomedicines
