Abstract:

Ian Wilmut was previously Head of the Department of Gene Function and Development at the Roslin Institute where his group produced Dolly, the first clone from an adult animal and went on to use the new methods to introduce precise genetic change into livestock.

Ian Wilmut is the Director of the recently established Centre for Regenerative Medicine at the University of Edinburghand the editor-in-chief of Cloning and Stem Cells. The research of Ian’s own group continues to be directed toward new understanding of the biology of nuclear transfer and with exploiting that new knowledge in research and medicine.

Dr.Wilmut has published 148 papers or views including 8 in Nature, 6 in Science, 2 in Nature Genetics, 3 in Nature Biotechnology, 1 in Nature Medicine and 1 in PNAS. In July 1997 the Wilmut laboratory for the first time cloned the Dolly the sheep. He will introduce the future implications of Dolly’s experiment.
