Dr Kallayanee Chawengsaksophak
Senior Staff Scientist: Haemato-Oncology Group
I am a Senior Staff Scientist at the Centre for In Vivo Modelling (CIVM) and I am specialised in mouse genetics, reproductive technologies and genome engineering, supporting researchers through ICR’s Transgenic, Genome Engineering and Biological Services facilities. My expertise includes in vitro fertilisation (IVF), sperm and embryo cryopreservation, mouse rederivation, gene targeting in embryonic stem cells, and the generation of mouse models using CRISPR technologies.
I have obtained my PhD from the University of Melbourne, Australia, where I studied the role of Cdx2 in intestinal development and disease. Since joining the ICR in 2024, I have been supporting researchers across the institute in developing and maintaining genetically engineered mouse models for cancer and biomedical research.
