Scott received his Ph.D. in Molecular Biology from University of Oregon where he studied how cell polarity influenced cell fate in fly neural stem cells. He continued his training at Stanford University where he investigated basal cell
carcinoma and the evolution of drug resistance. He is currently exploring cell fate decisions in skin stem cells and cancer.
Publications
Yunlong received his B.E. in Biological Engineering from Anyang Institute of Technology in China, his M.S. in Cancerology at Claude Bernard University, and his Ph.D. in Molecular and Cell Biology from Ecole Normale Superieure de Lyon in France.
In his thesis project, he developed and optimized large-scale bimolecular florescence complementation (BiFC) screening for human HOX interactomes. He is currently defining human skin equivalent organoids through single cell technologies.
