Søren Warming

Søren Warming is a Director & Distinguished Scientist (Technology) in Molecular Biology and Research Biology at Genentech, where he has worked for 19 years. Trained in mouse genetics and genome engineering, he applies CRISPR-based technologies to advance drug discovery and collaborates on projects involving tumor models, immune regulation, and murine disease mechanisms.

• PhD in Molecular Biology from Aarhus University (2000)
• Postdoctoral Fellowship at NCI (2002-2006)

His research focuses on genome engineering tools, particularly CRISPR/Cas9, to model diseases like cancer, autoimmune disorders, and metabolic conditions. He explores genetic regulation of epithelial integrity, inflammasome activation, and hematopoiesis, often in collaboration with cross-disciplinary teams.

Scientific awards include NIH Fellowships and grants from Danish research councils. He has mentored postdoctoral scholars at Genentech, leveraging core facilities in CRISPR, animal model generation, and advanced cell engineering. His work bridges basic research and translational applications, with a focus on genetic insights for therapeutic targets.
