Kenneth H. Albrecht, PhD
Adjunct Assistant Professor, Medicine
Biography
Research in my laboratory is aimed at understanding the molecular mechanisms of cell fate specification during mammalian sex determination and fetal gonad organogenesis. I am broadly trained in classical genetics, molecular genetics, genomics and developmental biology, and have published widely in the field of mouse genetics and specifically in the developmental genetics of gonad organogenesis and sex determination.
