Severin Uebbing

Dr. Severin Uebbing is an Assistant Professor at Utrecht University's Faculty of Science, affiliated with the Genome Biology and Epigenetics division. His research focuses on enhancer evolution and gene regulation in mammals, integrating computational genomics and functional assays using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).

Education:

• PhD in Evolutionary Genetics (2011-2015), Uppsala University
• MSc in Evolutionary Biology (2009-2011), Uppsala University
• BSc in Biology (2005-2009), Heidelberg University

Research Trends: Analysis of 15 recent publications reveals expertise in enhancer evolution, neurodevelopmental gene regulation, 3D genomic architecture, dosage compensation, and systems biology approaches to disease mechanisms. Key methods include massively parallel assays, humanized mouse models, and comparative genomics across mammals and birds.

Laboratory: Leads research on enhancer evolution at Utrecht University, employing iPSC-derived models and genome-scale functional assays to investigate mammalian regulatory innovation.
