Bio-sketch
Jose Maria Polo was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina where he graduated from Buenos Aires University as a Biochemist. In 2002, Jose began his graduate studies at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, New York under the supervision of Dr. Ari Melnick where he worked on the transcriptional mechanism of the BCL6 repression complex in lymphomagenesis and B-cell maturation. In 2008 he obtained his PhD and moved to Boston to the laboratory of Dr. Konrad Hochedlinger at the Harvard Stem Cell Institute to work on reprogramming of adult cells into induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. During his postdoctorate he worked in the epigenetic and cellular mechanisms that govern reprogramming. In June 2011 as a Larkins Fellow, Jose joined the Monash Immunology and Stem Cell Laboratories in order to establish his independent research group.
